While the need for housing is and should be a priority, the removal of Greenbelt lands should NOT be the first method of dealing with this issue. The infilling of cities to create more liveable/walkable cities which lower the reliance on cars, etc both helps to alleviate the housing issue as well as dealing with climate realities. Many cities have large backlogs of infrastructure spending and adding new roads/sewers/etc to these will only extend this problem.

It should be the responsibility of the Provincial Government to lead on environmental issues and not pave over natural areas/farm lands/ ecosystems.
