Expansion of the Greenbelt is insufficient without also providing adequate protection for lands contained within the Greenbelt.

Farms, forests and rivers that are currently threatened by sprawl must also be part of the discussion.

We must prevent inappropriate development by supporting healthy compact communities, plugging loopholes rather than creating new ones, and ensuring municipalities comply with the Greenbelt Plan.

We must also stop new highway development to reduce climate change impacts, and keep large industrial infrastructure out of farmland and forests. Invest in regional rapid transit to help communities develop smarter, denser housing and businesses.
