I am writing to express my opposition to the proposed amendments to the Greenbelt.

The assurance that the Greenbelt would remain off-limits for development in perpetuity is an important aspect of land use planning in Ontario. This has been affirmed by the current government repeatedly during and between election campaigns; there is no mandate from Ontarians to effect this change. Studies have confirmed that this land is not needed to meet housing needs, and municipalities directly affected by this proposed change have voiced their opposition to it. I believe that this move is short-sighted, sacrificing the long-term health of Ontario for me and my descendants without meaningfully addressing the crisis of affordable housing.

I urge the government to reconsider.
