Comment
The Greenbelt consists of many ecologically significant areas including wetlands, grasslands, and forests, as well as prime agricultural lands. These ecosystems, wetlands in particular, are extremely important for biodiversity, water filtration, carbon sequestration, and erosion prevention. Now more than ever due to the climate crisis, these things are important.
There are much better ways to fix the housing crisis that do not involve building on ecologically significant areas. See the Uof T study linked.
This amendment does not properly value the role the Greenbelt plays in maintaining safe and healthy communities!
