The federal government is launching an environmental study of Rouge National Urban Park to better understand the impacts of housing developments planned by the Ford government in the surrounding Greenbelt.
The federal government is going to battle the province over its plan to build housing in the Greenbelt by launching an environmental study of Rouge National Urban Park that could enable use of Ottawa’s powers to halt developments, the environment minister suggested.
“If we come to the conclusion is that they have irreversible impact on species at risk, then these projects won’t be allowed to go forward. That’s very clear.” “It’s really adjacent, and isn’t it great that we can build a community and people can go there and walk through these parks,” said Ford. The goal of the federal study will be to “understand the potential effects, including cumulative effects of past, ongoing and potential future developments on the integrity of the park and its objectives,” Guilbeault said.
