Question 1: Could you please confirm that the planning policy document will align to climate change emergency motions in place across many municipalities and that the emission reduction requirements will drive policy in the planning policy document? Read more

I beleive that it is a good idea to have the option too sever lots as it does give you the option to give a place for your children to build or to subsidize your income, the farmers that wish to not sever lots are not forced to do so and I do not think it is right that the big farms like that shoul Read more

Farmland severance policies must be completely removed from this proposal. Municipalities must not be required to make huge tax hikes to develop land for low-density suburban purpose.

I do not support policies that will increase residential lot creation in prime agricultural areas or in rural areas that are actively farmed. Putting more homes in agricultural areas would put pressure on farm ecology because of new wells and septic systems. Read more

I hope this doesn’t go thru. Stelco said that they would leave this area and that would a loss of around 1200 jobs. We don’t have enough water in this area. Where are all the wildlife that roam in the area of Stelco and there is a lot of deer around there. Read more

I am a 3rd generation small farm/land owner my parents would love to retire on their property and I would love to be able to have an option to have them stay there while offering support to them. I would encourage the government to not take an all or nothing approach to land severance. Read more

I am really heartbroken how the Conservative Party want to remove Agricultural land to build homes. I ask you WHY? Once this land is destroyed it will never come back to agricultural land again. Do you people not value food? Do you not value farmers? Read more

I TOTALLY oppose the rural severences which would effectively destroy Agriculture (farming of crops and animals) throughout Ontario. We must NOT do this - we need these farms to feed us now and into the future. Read more

Any changes from PSEZ to Residential is shortsighted and will impact current and future industry and employment, farming and current residents. The area is deemed industrial and the industry does impact through noise and pollution. Read more

I think this policy is very, very short sighted. If it proceeds, it will be looked back at years from now, as the worst idea in ontario government history. We need the agricultural land and the food produced to sustain our population with food. Densify within cities, stop urban sprawl. Read more

NO. Flat out NO. How shortsighted can anyone be to propose destroying farm land?! If you think we can eat without farmers working land, you are delusional. The stupidity is surpassed only by greed. NO.

Aside from fresh water, farmland is Canada's most valuable resource. There are better ways to fix our housing problems other than building on our precious rich farmland. Please stop developing and ruining it. Your going to create a bigger problem when there's not enough food to go around.
