The Provincial Government of Ontario set up this "greenbelt" to stop urban spread! Lets start with GIGANTIC surface parking lots that cover 20 hectares of land for every mall. build parking garages as they do in cities like Vancouver. There, you can't level mountains to make more livable space, so you have to build up. Then, when you have reduced the imprint of land used for parking cars, use left over land to build 75 story or greater family friendly apartment towers. No more of these 6 story buildings! Go up, go up BIG! Only then, and once all land has been developed upwards, including taking individual housing developments down so as to build UP, then maybe they might have a case in point to go back on their "greenbelt" space, but not until every square inch of the metropolis of the GTA has been built up and up BIG! Perhaps, one needs to build down as well. Office space below ground level and living space above. And instead of building more freeways, build more rail lines, and space left over, then build more apartment towers. There are many ways to rebuild the GTA without getting into greenspace yet! Perhaps when all apartment towers have green space on their roof tops, one could consider reducing that greenspace, but I don't have all the answers either, BUT DON'T BUILD ON THE GREENSPACE!
