I oppose the amendments to the Greenbelt Area boundary as described. We should be expanding it. For this estimated large population growth, we need valuable and productive farmland to be saved, we need green spaces to absorb the extra pollution from this population growth and offset the heat zones caused by new roads and subdivisions. These areas proposed to be developed in rural settings will not the affordable housing that is needed. They will cater to mid-upper class people. This is the wrong kind of development.

We should be reducing the population growth to be manageable. How can we service all these people? So much new infrastructure needs to be built; transit, hospitals, schools...many of our 400 series highways cannot get wider, so there will be more congestion.
