I am 100% against any encroachment into the current green belt boundaries, especially in and around the greater Hamilton area. The green belt was established in order to maintain critical and sensitive ecological areas from further residential or business development before it was too late to save them. This has not changed. They are still critical ecological areas and still require protection. So why is the government of Ontario forgetting this? Southern Ontario has some of the most significant and bio-diverse areas in all of Ontario. We have to get better at re-developing brown space vs engage in more encroachment into green space. The government would be better to focus on removing barriers to developing brown space then changing the current boundaries of the green belt. If the Ford government moves ahead with this plan, I will cease voting for the PC party in the next election. I WILL remember this decision come Election Day.
