I am fully against any…

I am fully against any degradation of existing Greenbelt land.

The government has not done enough to show how much of the proposed additions in this land swap aren't already protected through other mechanisms. How much of the 9,400 acres are new and previously unprotected?

Furthermore, the building up of car-dependent commuter suburbs is not the solution to the current housing crisis. Government regulations like stronger rent control and wise stewardship of exisitng resources is what's necessary. Cities like Toronto and Hamilton must build up, not out.

The environmental impact as well as negative precedent that a Greenbelt land swap would engender are far too great a cost.

Do not proceed with the 'amendments' to the Greenbelt. I am fully against this.
