There is no need to remove land from the greenbelt on the basis of needing more land to build homes. There is enough land already designated for this purpose.
However this land in the greenbelt is needed to remain intact to act as a corridor for endangered species and other species at risk.
It needs to remain an intact corridor to allow farmers to have rural land to farm, unimpeded by suburbs and the disruption it brings.
In order for farmers to continue to plan 20-30+ years ahead they need land that is protected from building to protect their investment in the farm.
Protecting the greenbelt protects hiking trails like the Bruce Trail which is a 900km ribbon of wilderness. The physical and mental health benefits of having access to this green space is priceless.
If this is not about making money for developers that are donors to the current government, then expropriate the land and see who wants to buy it at the actual value with the money going to taxpayers to build affordable homes.
