Taken from MAH's website: "Ontario’s Greenbelt protects farmland, communities, forests, wetlands and watersheds. It also preserves cultural heritage and supports recreation and tourism in Ontario’s Greater Golden Horseshoe."
Taken from the Greenbelt plan, 2017: "The Greenbelt Plan, together with the ORMCP and the NEP, identifies where urbanization should not occur in order to provide permanent protection to the agricultural land base and the ecological and hydrological features, areas and functions occurring on this landscape."
The Greenbelt is *permanently* protected zone and has been identified as a location where urbanization - building tracts of sub divisions and housing - should not happen. It's an ecological disaster to tear up the Greenbelt plan, serves mostly developers, and creates further urban sprawl which has been demonstrated time and again to be an economic and ecological failure.
This plan further demonstrates that the law is nothing more than what the governing party says it is.
