Please DO NOT consider reducing the greenbelt. Ontario's Greenspaces are a precious finite resource- once gone they cannot be reclaimed. Please instead consider redeveloping underutilized land that is already developed such as parking lots, malls and industrial land. Read more

These changes are short sighted and will obviously not solve any housing issues. This clearly will only serve developers and those wealthy enough to purchase single family homes. Densification and proper urban planning is what our government should be focused on.
