I do not agree with your proposed purpose to:
Remove the lands listed above from the Greenbelt Area to support the goal to build 1.5 million homes over the next 10 years. Expand the Greenbelt Area to enable the policy coverage of the Greenbelt Plan to be extended to lands in the Paris Galt Moraine at all.
Removing any Greenbelt land in this day and age is not acceptable. In fact more land should be added and protected under the Greenbelt Act. Ontario needs to protect all the Greenspace that it can.
Farmland is so important everyone deserves local grown food, Covid 19 showed how important it is for Canada to produce our own food as close to where we live as possible.
I do not agree that the lands listed below should be removed from the Greenbelt
The proposed regulation would remove the following areas from the Greenbelt Area as described in the Green belt Act 2005 O. Reg. 59/05:

DO NOT Remove the lands as listed in 019 6217 from the Greenbelt Area as at least one section of this proposal is not able to have homes built on it as per Aviation Act.
YES expand the Greenbelt Area to enable the policy coverage of the Greenbelt Plan to be extended to lands in the Paris Galt Moraine but not at the cost of loosing other greenbelt lands
