I am strongly opposed to the government's plan to open up the Greenbelt to development.
The Premier previously promised to protect the Greenbelt, but has now broken that promise.
I would refer you to Environmental Defence Canada's website for why opening up the Greenbelt is a very bad idea. They note, in part, that the legislation (Bill 23) and associated policy changes, will:
- Create a process for selling off conservation lands without oversight
- Strip conservation authority powers which protect us from floods
- Remove protections from woodlands, wetlands and wildlife habitat
- Cancel municipal green building standards
- Do almost nothing to build more affordable homes inside of our cities and towns where they are needed
I strongly urge the Premier and provincial government to rethink Bill 23 and keep their promise to protect the Greenbelt.
