Comment
I strongly disagree with these proposed amendments to the Greenbelt Plan.
The 2022 report of Ontario’s Housing Affordability Task Force stated that a shortage of land isn’t the cause of Ontario’s housing problem. It is therefore unnecessary to build on Greenbelt land, environmentally sensitive areas or farmland.
The proposed removal of land from the Greenbelt sets an unnerving precedent. Both land from the Greenbelt and the Natural Heritage System should never be developed. Our local food systems and ecosystems are both needed for our present and future.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this matter.
