"Ontario Progressive Conservative Leader John Tory slammed the Ontario government's plan to protect a huge swath of land from urban sprawl, saying it is being rushed through to cover up failures in stopping development north of Toronto.

'We support the preservation of quality farmland and environmentally sensitive land and we support more orderly urban growth,' the opposition leader told reporters at a press conference Tuesday. "We're saying to them 'Get it right. Take the time to get it right.''"
