I do not support these changes. The Greenbelt should remain intact except for very minor, local changes.
These changes take significant areas out of the Greenbelt while many of the added areas are already protected. This actually results in a net loss of protected areas.
Making large changes like this sets a precedence that will only increase pressure from pro-development groups to make further changes and it fuels speculative investments within and adjacent to the Greenbelt.
The government needs to promote in fill building of residential housing that creates dense urban areas that are transit oriented.
Opening up the Greenbelt will only create a degraded environment full of sprawl.
