Have you seen any comment on this yet from the Ontario Federation of Agriculture? They generally wield a heavy hammer with influence over this government (see recent proposed PPS changes on farmland severances).
Have you gotten details about which other sites are appropriate for industrial development in the region of Waterloo? I reached out to Alfred Lowrick who is quoted on the fightforfarmland.com website and got a non-answer back.
I don't have a ton of details but I understand there are the East Side Lands (which I wrote about in further detail in part two of this series), the Waterloo West Side Lands, and existing (but as I understand, still vacant) employment lands in Wilmot.

It looks like they have concerns about this as well. https://ofa.on.ca/newsroom/waterloo-and-ontario-federations-of-agriculture-call-for-pause-on-assembly-of-prime-farmland-in-wilmot-township-by-region-of-waterloo/
Thanks. Must have missed this in the news cycle.
It's easy to do as there has been a lot to follow on this one!
