The Greenbelt protects the most fertile and rich soil in North America. It took over 10000 years to create the soil conditions ripe for agricultural uses that it is preserved for today. Opening up the Greenbelt for short term benefit of developers would damage the long-term stability of Ontario and for Canada. There is no way that we should open up the Greenbelt to virtually regulation free development. It would be a move that threatens the lives of our children, especially in a world that will face increasing food and water shortages.
