The majority of the province…

The majority of the province does not want the government to touch the greenbelt. The housing crisis can be solved using sites within urban centres as well as regulations to lower the number of empty houses (used for short term rentals).
As the government represents the people of the province, it is therefore logical that there should be no development of the 'protected' land of the greenbelt. Otherwise Ford, it appears that you are selling the land off to pay back your donors. And that constitutes profiteering -not governing.
