The Greenbelt is a crucial ecosphere and is not needed to build additional homes. Using the Greenbelt does not solve the affordability or availability of housing, but it is an effective way to exacerbate local climate challenges like flooding, fires, soil erosion, and displacing habitats.

Ontario has vast swaths of urban sprawl that could be used to build housing units. Amend zoning laws to allow homes to be built in these existing spaces instead.

Leave the Greenbelt alone. No one benefits from this proposal other than the developers who get the development contract and the investors.
