Ontario Greens leader Mike Schreiner has criticized the Ford government’s assertions that developing the Greenbelt is essential for addressing Ontario’s housing crisis. Reports, including findings from the government’s own housing task force, indicate there is already sufficient land available for housing development. Schreiner argues that the government’s push for development is not aimed at helping Ontarians but rather benefits wealthy speculators. The Greens are proposing alternative solutions to the housing crisis that do not involve sacrificing the Greenbelt’s vital natural resources.
