The greenbelt is one of the most precious assets in Ontario. The enrichment it brings, both in terms of natural environments and agricultural land cannot be overstated.

The Ontario greenbelt is one of the most fertile places in Canada. We need this land intact for the health of Ontarians, the rest of the country, and the world.

The housing crisis is not caused by lack of houses in Ontario. It is caused by the pressures on the rental systems, including AirBnB units.

Your proposal to convert greenbelt land to real estate developments is short sighted. It does not address the root causes of the housing crisis, and so can never solve it. And in the meantime, it proposes to create devastation in areas of natural beauty and agricultural resource.

Protect the greenbelt. Let you legacy be one of goodness and good governance. Solve the housing crisis through addressing the root causes of the crisis in the rental sector. Let our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren enjoy access to the great natural beauty and agricultural richness of Ontario.
