I am completely against bill 23 and its proposed changes to the greenbelt.

The amount of land already designated for development within existing municipal settlement boundaries far exceeds what is needed to meet long-range housing targets.

This is from ontarionature.org

If the Provincial Government proceeds with this unnecessary and unacceptable proposal, the consequences will be severe:

the destruction of 7,400 acres of Greenbelt farmland and natural areas and the vital ecological benefits they provide;
harming climate resilience by undermining the ecological integrity of the watersheds and natural systems that are in and around the Greenbelt;
setting a destructive precedent that Greenbelt protected lands will be sacrificed when land speculators want to develop them therefore creating an ecologically damaged “swiss cheese” Greenbelt;
allowing land speculators to put pressure on farmers within the Greenbelt to sell their valuable farmland thereby reducing vital local food production;
the diversion of limited construction resources away from building homes where they are needed to building expensive and damaging sprawl homes on what was once Greenbelt protected land;
building homes that will likely not be affordable therefore doing nothing for those who need affordable housing now.
