Hello,
In the current age of climate crisis and the housing crisis I feel strongly that this is the wrong direction for the government to take. We need to protect the green belt. Housing can be built on existing commercial land by modifying building codes to increase density. This may be more complicated, but would be worth it.
When we talk about the green belt, it is not just land-it is a protected ecosystem. This need for protection doesn't magically disappear because people need homes. The destruction of natural spaces for commercial purpose, always putting commerce at the top of the priorities, is exactly why we find ourselves in climate emergency, and we will not be able to buy our way out of the destruction of what's left of our natural world.
I am strongly against Bill 23, schedule 6.
Thanks for your time.
