The removal of any amount of land from the current Greenbelt boundary would be extremely detrimental to Ontario. The types of houses that will be built in these proposed lands will not solve the housing crisis. There are plenty of brownfield lands outside of the Greenbelt that could be utilized more effectively. Moreover, removing land from the Greenbelt will worsen the issue of food insecurity for Ontarian's. Urban sprawl is not the solution to the housing crisis and will make so many other issues exponentially worse (highway congestion, poor air quality and smog, decreasing biodiversity, increasing rates of human illness, food insecurity, obesity, asthma, poor water quality, risk of flooding, etc.).
