I do not agree with opening…

I do not agree with opening the Greenbelt for development. This will not solve the housing crisis in Ontario, especially as any houses built in this area would not be affordable for the average Ontario citizen. The Greenbelt is irreplaceable and an important ecological and agricultural part of Ontario. The impact the Greenbelt has on our clean drinking water should also not be forgotten. We are lucky in Ontario to have such a large abundance of clean drinking water. Removing or damaging headwaters, moraines, groundwater recharge areas and wetlands would impact this supply, which would be a grave mistake, especially with our changing climate. Hands off the Greenbelt, there are other solutions to address the housing issues in Ontario that won't devastate our environment.
