Maybe some people in this Government should read this article below and as I'm directly affected by the largest demoviction in Canadian history this far, I can testify that this article is entirely accurate.

This bill is terrible!!
The PC government needs to listen... and not roll back their promises re farmlands and greenbelts.
Wonderful that our Ontario farmers are speaking up....
Keep our farmland... once it is gone, it is gone forever!!

The greatest urgency is to slow or stop the out of control population growth in the study area. Once we pave over the most productive farm land in Ontario, for residential, then where and at what cost does the food they need, in ever increasing amounts, come from.

I am opposed to Bill 97 and the changes that it will make to Ontario - to the farmland and the Greenbelt without building long lasting homes for Ontarians.

I just like to say that I’m against this legislation farmland should remain protected and only be subject to subdivision it immediately adjacent to already existing sprawl

Housing is very important. So is agriculture. Any development near farmland needs to have homeowners sign a caveat. No bitching about farm operations. I had to sign one in Airdrie Alberta because we are in the flight path for the Calgary airport.

As important as housing is, using our agricultural land and conservation land is not the answer. Locally sourced food and protections for our environment must be a priority and other priorities must not supersede these priorities. We do not lack land. Find another way.
Airabel land needs to be conserved . It is ridiculous idea. We need to grow our own food here stop importing it. Poor farmers will have to deal with the city folk not understanding noises smells and all that goes with farming.

I encourage the government to listen to the concerns of the farming associations,such as the OFA. Expanding into prime farming land is taking a near-sighted view and disregarding the long term risk to our food security, biodiversity and recreational opportunities.

Our farmland is key to food...supply..look other venues no farmer no food...sprawl population to districts undesirable ...not farmlands if you want to grow urban sprawl no farmlands
No farmlands
We do not support Bill 97. Farmers need their land to grow crops and for survival. There are far to many empty houses, condos and apartments just sitting there for months. You should focus on that.
I live on a 100 acre farm in Oxford County. It is disheartening to see subdivisions on land that used to be productive farmland. Please rethink your priorities. Food is a valuable natural resource and our food needs to be Canadian grown not imported.

Farmland must be preserved. Ontario needs to have the farmland to grow food for its population. I want to be able to buy food that is grown in Ontario and not in the US and other continents.
This proposal will increase food insecurity in Canada, imperil the autonomy of ON farmers and their future-planning, and redraw the rural landscape by reducing farmland, increasing residential sprawl and creating conflict.

This is a terrible idea. By rezoning farmland the government will be minimizing our ability to provide food for our own populations. By reducing the amount of farmland our food prices will rise. There is definitely a need for more (and more afforable) housing.

Intensification not sprawl is the answer. Stop building on greenbelt lands and rural lands. Intensification is sustainable, sprawl is not and is expensive now and forever.
Instead of taking more farmland that we are going to need someday, eliminate people's ability to register their house as a "heritage" home and force cities to build higher density high rise building and stop the urban sprawl.
