While I recognize that more housing is required across the Greater Toronto Area in order to address the ongoing housing crisis, I am not in favour of destroying greenbelt land for this need. The greenbelt is an important carbon sink for the Greater Toronto region, in addition to providing a habitat for countless native species & promoting biodiversity across our region.

Within this proposal, I see no wording in regards to urban sprawl and the government's approach to reducing it.

In fact, urban sprawl is caused by the misuse of land and bad zoning laws. The government should build upwards and densify regions instead of building homes that sprawl across vital land.

Environmental researchers should be consulted on whether this plan is viable. It should not cause biodiversity to be lost across the Greater Toronto Area.
