Do NOT allow people to develop on the Green Belt under any circumstances. You promised not to because of the outcry when you were running. Don't back out on that promise now that you've been elected.
These proposed changes are the most backward, ill-informed regulations that are designed to not only compromise or destroy the health of water and land areas, but also pose a risk to personal health, as waterways and drinking water sources can be contaminated without constraint.

I would like to see how this tool incorporates protection for environmentally sensitive areas such as Natural Heritage Features identified in the Planning Act.

The laws that established and protect the Greenbelt are vitally important to the environmental, health, and economic well-being of the province. Eroding them directly or indirectly would be short-sighted and irrevocably damaging to our future. Greed should not override the greater public good.
