The leader of the Green Party, Mike Schreiner, said the highway will contribute to pollution and called on Ford to cancel his plan.
“The [corridor] would pump, according to reports, 87-million kilograms of climate pollution into the air each year. It would negatively impact 17 hectares of the Holland Marsh, 39 hectares of wildlife habitat, 11 hectares of provincially significant wetlands and cut through 27 waterways,” he explained.
