While it is important that the housing issue in Ontario is solved the proposed idea of gutting conservation and letting developers build on protected ecologically significant land is not the solution Ontario needs.

Cutting chunks from the Greenbelt which we have protected for 18 years is something we should not allow to happen. This protected land needs to stay that way and we need to find a way to help the housing issue without compromising our environment or our integrity.
