The Greenbelt literally protects the health and well-being of the Greater Toronto Area, and it's citizens. It was protected because market forces (ex: the high cost of land) provided incentives for folks to sell farmland and green space for development.
The environmental value this green infrastructure provides is worth billions of dollars per year and saves costs across government , especially in health care.
To allow municipalities and developers to open up the green belt for development would be to kill the Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs.
