The present Government was…

The present Government was elected based on the promise that will not change any of the Greenbelt designation.
Housing crisis will not be solved by allowing new sprawling mansions in the existing Greenbelt.

There is an acute need of entry level homes and condos, not multi acre mansions.
There will be no affordable homes developed in the existing Greenbelt lands, as these locations will not be service by public transportation.

There is enough space, decrepit neighbourhoods, etc, in existing cities boundaries which could be developed for entry level homes. All these could be accessible by public transportation, and will fully justify public money invested in redevelopment of these areas, as well in the public transportation.

This new proposal is the culmination reward for all big pockets developers which have supported Doug Ford , with the clear mandate to allow development in the existing Greenbelt.

Adding new land to the Greenbelt will not change these facts.

Any change to the Greenbelt should be done either by Referendum or by a policy platform during new elections.
