The land that Ontario is seeking to develop provides an enormous Ecosystem Goods and Services value to Ontarians due to its proximity to dense populations. Green land that is close to human developments provides physical, chemical and biological functions that we can quantify in economic terms. If the government seeks to replace these lands with other more remote lands, we lose the function of those ecosystems as a service to our growing population. Especially given Ontario's extreme debt-to-GDP ratio, it would be prudent to first quantify the long-term monetary impact that Ontarians will experience by removing greenbelt lands. Please engage EG&S experts before moving further with this land grab.
