Reducing environmentally important and protected green space during a global environmental crisis is not the correct solution to the housing crisis.

The Ontario Housing Affordability Task Force outlines multiple solutions in the February 2022 report: https://files.ontario.ca/mmah-housing-affordability-task-force-report-e…

The report specifically states a shortage of land is not the cause of the housing crisis. Outdated Zoning By-laws need to be addressed. In the report it is estimated 70% of land zoned for housing is restricted to single-detached homes or Semi-detached homes.

Developing housing on the Greenbelt will affect drinking water, flood protection and carbon offsets. Please visit their website for more information: https://www.greenbelt.ca/
