I am deeply concerned and opposed to Bill 23. The proposed changes to the Ontario Wetland Evaluation System are short sighted and irresponsible. As the climate crisis worsens we need to create stronger protections for Ontario wetlands rather than eroding them. Read more

There are alternatives to using valuable green areas that have not been explored. This government said it would not allow building on the green belt. Your flipping this promise is a betrayal. We need these lands for environmental reasons for the longer view.

I am opposed to building housing on the Greenbelt lands. This goes against this government’s past promises. Lands proposed to be added are not the sample quality of farmland that’s is proposed to be removed. It is important to protect Ontario’s farmland and wildlife in the Greenbelt.
