There is a good reason why these lands are being protected. Taking away this greenbelt area, only to add another one, doesn't make sense. It makes sense if you want to provide contracts to specific builders within this area, which is uncalled for. Add more land to the Greenbelt, but don't take ANY away. There are other ways to address the housing crisis in this province, including searching for buildings that are currently not being used completely, or at all, and buying these to convert them into low-income housing for our most vulnerable citizens. Building more homes isn't always the answer. Looking at what you have, what is available to you, and turning these opportunities into housing for LOW INCOME CITIZENS is a viable alternative to destroying the Greenbelt that THE FORD GOVERNMENT SAID IT WOULD PROTECT!!! Again, taking away some of the Greenbelt, just to add more to it in more convenient places, is not the answer and is directly going against what the Ford government said it would do. Please properly and thoroughly consult the appropriate people to find out what IS available currently and how to better use it, including buildings, but also other pieces of land that aren't protected land.
