I have studied the maps of areas proposed to be removed from the Greenbelt. They seem to be consistent with the criteria that they be "suitable for development" ONLY providing that "suitability" is defined by the proponent for development. There seems to have been little, if any, consideration of other reasons for removal from the Greenbelt. Unless there is a sound scientific explanation that these areas were not really suited to be in the Greenbelt, then they should not be removed ONLY for development. There is no reason to remove these areas; firstly, because there is already substantial land available for development in Ontario, and secondly because the housing crisis is most acute in already developed areas which are not near the areas proposed to be removed.
