A review of Ontario’s Greenbelt could recommend more land be added to the protected area, but it could also see more lands removed, the province’s new housing minister said Wednesday.

A day after Premier Doug Ford announced a review of all parcels of protected Greenbelt land, as well as the sites the government removed for housing development late last year, Paul Calandra said he has asked the ministry to come up with parameters for the review to start “very soon.”
