Opening up areas of the Greenbelt to development is entirely about lining the pockets of developers and land speculators (particularly those that contribute to the PC party).

Pretending there will be no net loss and doing a "land swap" by adding less desirable lands to the Greenbelt somewhere else sets an extremely dangerous precedent.

Furthermore, recent media investigations suggest that insider information was provided by the government to some developers who have now greatly benefited from opening up the previously protected / undevelopable areas within the Greenbelt. This is shocking and disgusting and should be investigated by all of the appropriate authorities.

Areas within the Oak Ridges Moraine should also not be redesignated for development.

These policy and regulatory changes will hurt the environment, accelerate biodiversity loss and jeopardize the future health and well-being of the environment and the people of Ontario.
