On April 30, 2018 in a leaked video from a closed-door Doug Ford campaign event, the Ontario PC Leader promised to open up a “big chunk” of the Greenbelt:
We will open up the Greenbelt — not all of it, but we’re going to open a big chunk of it up — and we’re going to start building and making it more affordable and putting more houses out there
The demand for single dwelling homes is huge, but no one can afford them. So we need to start building affordable housing.
I’ve already talked to some of the biggest developers in this country and again, I wish I could say it’s my idea, but it was their idea as well. Give us property, we’ll build and we’ll drive the cost down. That’s my plan for affordable housing.
