withdraw the plan to remove lands from the Greenbelt;
get on with a meaningful Greenbelt expansion that reflects public input - repeatedly promised but never delivered by the Ford government;
follow the advice of the government’s own Ontario Affordable Housing Task Force and focus efforts on developing affordable housing on lands that have already been designated for development and have the necessary infrastructure in place.
