The green belt should not be…

The green belt should not be open to development. There is a reason why the green belt was designated as such and we have enough land in Ontario that does not traverse through diverse lands that are important to various species.

The mere fact that these lands are near land owned by developers that are friends with certain governmental officials should say enough as to why this is even being discussed as an option. It should not happen. We need to be environmentally conscious not going backwards.

I will refer to the Housing Affordability Task Force report on how greenbelts should remain protected while focusing on how to handle the housing crisis in Ontario.
