Ontario’s Planning Act, The Provincial Policy Statement and other plans such as A Place to Grow: Growth plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe and The Greenbelt Plan inform Ontario Municipalities in creating Official Plans and take into account population growth so Ford’s position that the Greenbelt needs to be altered to accommodate the next three years of immigration lacks merit.
