The Greenbelt was created…

The Greenbelt was created for many good reasons and Premier Ford promised during his last term that that no one was going to touch it. There was no discussion of any change of policy during the recent election.

This "land shuffle" within the boundaries of the Greenbelt appears to be happening for very cynical reasons. The government's own Housing Commission has already said there is enough land to build the housing without touching land within the Greenbelt.

Agricultural land is rare and precious. Once it's gone our food supply becomes even more dependent on outside imports and is more precarious.

Wetlands and other natural areas are needed to prevent flooding and stopping the development of heat islands in our cities.

Please think again and withdraw these unwise proposals.
