Urban sprawl is a result of population growth. As a fundamental first the ontario government should take control of immigration as done in quebec and lower immigration to Toronto and the GTA. This would take away some of the incentive for new development.

If you do not want take these actions then I would not support the amendments to the green belt act, lake simocoe act or places to grow acts. Your actions will lead to further decline of Lake Simcoe, the loss of farmland and forests that provide habitat, water conservation and carbon storage.

If you want population growth then intensify the use of the existing urban footprints and put in the necessary services to make these urban areas livable.
