‘Very unpopular bill’

Dear Editor:

An open letter to Steven Guilbeault, federal Minister of Environment and Climate Change.

Minister Guilbeault, as a concerned citizen in Ontario I strongly suggest you request a federal environmental assessment of the areas that Premier Doug Ford would like to develop in the sensitive areas of the Greenbelt.

There was no consultation by Ford’s government with regards to the proposed development for housing.

There currently is enough identified land for development without touching the Greenbelt. This is merely a gift to Mr. Ford’s developer contributors. There is no concern for environmental impacts.

This is a very unpopular bill and  Ford previously promised he would not touch this area. We have no support from our Wellington-Hills MPP Ted Arnott and our federal MP Michael Chong.

We really need your help as minister.

Gregory Bowman, Fergus
