The purpose of the greenbelt is to PROTECT agricultural and environmentally sensitive lands from development. After decades of promising to leave the land intact, why are we going back to cut into it? The cuts to the greenbelt will likely result in a loss for our ecosystems. For years research has been developed saying that a lack of land isn’t the reason for the housing crisis - more than enough has been set aside for development. The largest issue is a lack of efficiency in using the land Ontario has set aside for development.
