The greenbelt land was…

The greenbelt land was promised to be protected by the current Premier and his conservative majority government. This is not only going back on his campaign promises to Ontarians but multiple studies show that building this new highway isn’t enough to save time for anyone. This is so wrong! This is protected space and more than that this government is looking to gain more power with Bill 23 by giving the Minister the power to override municipal planning decisions, and remove peoples right to appeal these planning decisions. Power would also be stripped from the Conservation Authority even though many of these developments would negatively impact wetlands, rivers and streams. We do not have a housing problem, we have an affordable housing problem; instead of building more and more houses on this land with zero consideration with how it affects the wetlands and wildlife, the government should be looking into how housing can be made affordable
