I oppose new development within the existing greenbelt, and particularly in the Oak Ridges Moraine. The Oak Ridges Moraine is a critical aquifer for Ontario, and is immensely important to the replenishment of Toronto's river systems. Multiple areas of greenbelt shown to be removed on the map appear to be at the headwaters of some of these critical Toronto rivers.
To claim that this will help lower housing prices is disingenuous; rather, it will help make developers wealthy at the expense of green spaces that are essential to public health. Urban Sprawl isn't the solution, it's a problem we're already trying to dig ourselves out of.
