As a taxpayer, I am concerned about Doug Ford's proposal to rezone the greenbelt because it will have significant negative consequences for Ontarians. Not only will it lead to increased urban sprawl, which will require costly infrastructure and services to support, it will also have a detrimental impact on the environment. The greenbelt provides an important buffer from development, protecting our air, water and soil. Re-zoning it will result in a loss of vital natural resources, which will have a long-term financial cost for taxpayers.
