In 2018, Doug Ford promised he would never touch the Greenbelt.
The Greenbelt is important for farmers and local food. The Ontario Federation of Agriculture says we are losing hundreds of acres of farmland every day.
Removing any land at all will encourage land speculators to buy up more of the Greenbelt.
We already have enough land assigned for housing. The Ontario Housing Affordability Task Force said so.
Who owns the lands that will be removed? Why was there no public process for deciding which lands would be removed?

The More Homes Built Faster Act will leave most wetlands completely unprotected. Wetlands are vital for endangered species and tourism.
Smaller municipalities don’t have the expertise to reproduce the services of Conservation Authorities.
Conservation Authorities shouldn’t identify land to sell off.
Bill 23 was rushed through in the face of widespread opposition.
Bill 23 harms democracy by reducing municipal powers and preventing third-party appeals to development projects.

I am firmly against the wetlands being touched. Please repeal this bill
