These Greenbelt…

These Greenbelt encroachments would create 50,000 of the 1.5 Million homes needed - about 3% of what has been identified over the next 10 years. So while the impact on the overall number of homes built versus what is needed in Ontario would be insignificant, the impact on the Greenbelt itself would be substantial. What this amendment does is set a precedent that will not be easy to reverse - it shows that the Protections that the Greenbelt has enjoyed for nearly 20 years no longer support the goals of creating a band of protected lands in perpetuity. Please, do not set this dangerous precedent for such a marginal gain to the number of homes in Ontario. Help municipalities focus on density, on sustainable use of existing infrastructure, and on preparing to be more resilient in the face of impending climate chaos. This proposal does the exact opposite.
