Ontario's review of the Greenbelt, an area designated for environmental protection, is facing significant delays, with critics demanding a thorough examination. Originally intended to start earlier this year, the review has yet to begin, as revealed in documents obtained through a freedom of information request. The Greenbelt, established in 2005, protects vital farmland and ecological zones but has previously been embroiled in controversy due to the Ford government's attempts to allow development on certain lands. Following backlash, the government retracted its proposal but the situation remains under scrutiny.
"The Ministry has yet to formally initiate the mandatory review of the Greenbelt Plan, which was supposed to start earlier this year, raising concerns among critics."
"The Greenbelt, established in 2005 to protect ecologically sensitive areas, faces scrutiny due to past controversies tied to development proposals by the Ford government."
