economist sunsuntribune the environment saturday jan 29 2005 9 ranee or the the from page 1 next week at allparty hear ings on bill 135 the green- belt act including a session tuesday at the radisson hotel on hwy 7 in markham the greenbelt plan is based on good science and already has seen more con sultation than the moraine plan did said david donnel ly a lawyer for environmen tal groups supporting the greenbelt it is either the height of ignorance hypocrisy to suggest tories got it right on moraine but the liberals are getting it wrong on the green belt draw boundaries conservatives agree boundaries for a greenbelt must be drawn somewhere and they want to protect environmentally sensitive land and prime farmlands mr tory said but added the government should take a few more months to investi gate the need for an appeals process compensation for farmers and support for those municipalities whose growth will be restricted this is a last ditch attempt by people who were hoping to make speculative profits to throw up a smokescreen of science the conservatives arent demanding farmers be paid for their land at development prices but some compensa tion is needed mr tory said accepting all or some recom mendations of a provincial panel report on agriculture would be a good start mr tory said john tory more time needed to investiigate compensation for farmers conservative leader said while in power the tories cut agriculture ministry staff and cancelled programs including the duffin rouge agricultural preserve in markham and a program tliat would have paid cash to farmers in niagaras fruit- lands for easements forbid ding development im sure there were deci sions we took that in hind sight may not have helped the situation mr tory said arguing the liberals also cut agriculture programs and failed to respond to farmers needs science accepted the science behind the greenbelt meant to pre serve ecosystems water sheds and bioregionalism has been generally accepted by politicians and citizens since david crombie used it for a royal commission report on torontos water front 15 years ago said gerda wekerle an environmental studies professor at york uni versity this is a last ditch attempt by people who were hoping to make speculative profits to throw up a smoke screen of science she said arguing the battle is really about public good and indi vidual
