| 1 | Gail Gordon Oliver | We, as Ontarians, must support our farmers so that they can continue to support us by providing us with real food. No farmers should have to be forced to face the possibility of their land being expropriated in order to ease a bit of traffic congestion! |
| 2 | Elizabeth Baldwin | Do not assume that current automotive patterns will necessarily be what comes to pass in the future. Driving habits WILL change, and other transportation modes will emerge. I challenge the MTO to think creatively, to think forward for ideas, not backward. |

| 5 | Paul Andrew Armstrong | In a society that claims that it is dedicated to fighting climate change, I find the proposal to reduce arable land in Ontario preposterous. Every effort should be made to eliminate impact to Ontario farm land. Saving a few million dollars now will cost hundreds of millions in the future. As a taxpayer I want my government to do what is right for sustainable local agriculture, not what is expedient or simply "Cost effective" in the short term. I expect my government to have vision. |
| 6 | Anonymous | Loss of prime agricultural land appears to be the norm in Ontario. Do we want to see an ever widening area of land lost due to multiple lanes of a poor transportation alternative? Whatever happened to "forward thinking" to establish an environmental and ecoomical transportation system such as a rail system.? I want to buy locally grown produce where I know that the product is safe to eat and helps our local economy! |
| 7 | Gail McMane | There must be a better solution to eleaviate the future traffic congestion then destroying farm land and homes!
Perhaps businesses should allow employees to work from home more often; encourage carpooling, something to reduce traffic. But to see more green space and fertile farm land for growing produce destroyed is unacceptable. |
| 8 | josh josephson | i am a consumer of the GREAT products produced by churchill farms and losing any valuable farm land would be a great loos and a travesty. |

| 17 | Fran Clements | This is a ridiculous solution, but then it would have to do with Dalton McGinty who is also ridiculous. We (Ontario) are spending megabucks advertising
our produce. Is this not counterproductive? |
| 18 | Laura Berman | |
| 19 | Darlene Litman | The farmland should, without a question, take priority over a road. |

| 21 | van Keerbergen Robert & Anne | We do not want more paving over of prime agricultural land and further destruction of some of the most valuable natural resources of this province; we want to preserve our ability to feed ourselves from local sources. We want you to invest in rail transportation instead. |
| 22 | Patti Trussler | My husband and I recently moved to Calgary after a lifetime in the Waterloo Region. We have enjoyed the meat products of Church Hill Farm precisely because of the care and environment that they offer their animals. In fact, one of the highlights of our recent vacation in Ontario, our first stop was at Church Hill farm to get the meat that we would need for our 2 week stay. We would hate to see their farm effected by a transportation link if it were designed without these factors in mind.
Sincerely,
Patti Trussler |

| 31 | Charmian Christie | Cars can be rerouted, farmland can't.
We need more green spaces, not more highways. Once you pave over land you can't gain it back. |

| 33 | dagmar baur | More pavement means more global warming and total desertification of our planet and our REAL resources.
Why do we need another highway addendum when we won't have the gas to drive the cars very soon. |

| 41 | Rhoda Lipton | So many of us are working so hard to bring local, fresh food to our communities. Why, oh why, does our government work against not for us. |

| 47 | Serena | Some of the best growing land in Ontario is being goobled up by highway, industry and subdivisions. Where will we grow our food when there is nothing but pavement?? What will our children know as viable land?? Consider the future of food and people before the future of industry. |
