Land should not be removed…

Land should not be removed from any Greenbelt or other protected area in order to build housing. Using this approach to creating new houses is short-sighted. Undeveloped land is becoming more critical for recreation and for the ecological benefits it provides and its value will continue to increase. We were promised that this government would not remove land from Greenbelts. This was obviously seen to be important during the election campaign and it is STILL important.

Additional housing can and should be created by increasing density in already developed areas. We need to learn from other parts of the world where it is not considered the right of every family to live in a house with a yard.
