The Greenbelt is unique and irreplaceable. This premier made a promise not to open development for building in the Greenbelt. We expect his government to keep this promise.
There is no reasonable or rational justification for opening this land to development. Studies show the current inventory of urban lands is sufficient to accommodate current and projected residential growth. There are other ways to promote and progress residential development in existing urban areas. Increasing density where lands already have utility and transit services would avoid further burden to municipal budgets, which in turn would force raises in taxes.
Bill 23 will irreparably fail the citizens of this province and generations to come will regret these myopic decisions. Please remember to whom you have a duty of care - the people who elected you to serve them.
