“ lied and said he wasn’t going to touch the Greenbelt,” said Jocelyn Davie, who rallied outside a Municipal Affairs and Housing office with dozens of people Saturday. “Now he is opening up the Greenbelt for 50,000 homes. He’s told the voters of Ontario he wasn’t going to do that and then he turns around and does it several months into his mandate.”As the Canadian national soccer teams head to their respective FIFA World Cups, Derek Van Diest is on the scene to cover all the action.
“Housing could be built in existing built-up areas. It doesn’t need to go into our pristine lands,” Chu said.The government’s position is that it is necessary to speed up home construction amid an affordability crisis, and as the province’s population grows.Article content “We expect that Ontario’s population is going to grow by over two million people by 2031, and we expect that approximately 1.5 million of that will be right here in the greater Golden Horseshoe,” Municipal Affairs and Housing Minister Steve Clark told the house at the start of third reading of the bill.
The opposition is focusing on fears of what it considers an incursion into the Greenbelt, and also on the ties between the Ford government and major property developers. “What is especially concerning is that the government is choosing to open up the greenbelt in areas where there are nine developers who own land there, who gave over $520,000 to the PC Party since 2014,” said Jessica Bell, NDP MPP, and housing critic during third reading of the bill Nov. 23.
