Save the Green Belt… this land SHOULD NOT BE DEVELOPED for housing, it should be preserved for future generations to have a better quality of life through wetlands survival and species that thrive in wetlands-both animals and plants. Use old abandon building sites for home building. Each city has abandoned factories, and large buildings that was closed years ago. For example, by my home there is a strip plaza that had a large Canadian Tire store attached to it. It was there for 16 years. However, a new Canadian Tire store was built in Niagara Falls- a much larger store ( it actually moved into an old Walmart building that was renovated to become a new Canadian Tire Stire)., hence this resulted in 2 old Canadian Tire stores sitting empty. Well the one by me is going to be demolished along with the strip mall and thousands of homes are going to be built here..single family dwellings, townhomes snd condos. That’s what this government needs to do…USE OLD ABANDONED BUILDINGS!! To develop protected green belt land is wrong and a huge error. To pass a bill that gives the government the right to do this is ridiculously insane!! This land has been protected for years. So the greed of developers and the need for more homes can still be met by using old buildings and their surroundings. Preserve the green belt! Make Ontario a place for our children and grandchildren to thrive in knowing wetlands, animals, plants that have been protected for years are important and that government’s can’t change bills to satisfy their own agendas! I voted PC for Mr. Ford, but if this bill passes and green space is developed and destroyed then my shame and disgust will be shown by my allegiance to ensure the PC government never wins in Ontario again.
