I urge the Premier to:
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. As the Housing Task Force noted, there is plenty of land within urban areas ready for development.
Economically and environmentally speaking, altering the Greenbelt area boundary regulation would be shortsighted and clumsy at best.
Our best investments are our land and our people. Without them, we have nothing, and we will have nothing if we continue to ravage that which keeps us viable as a people and an economy.
