I stand with the Hintonburg Community Association in asking for a delay in the passage of this Bill 23 to allow Ottawa's new mayor and many new councilors time to familiarize themselves with the significance of the Bill's passages.
I strongly oppose the use of greenbelt for building. I oppose the changes that undermine the protections on environmentally sensitive lands, heritage properties, and farmland.

Please see the attached correspondence regarding the Town of Whitby Council Resolution regarding Planning and Development (Planning Services) Department Report, PDP 65-22, Bill 23, More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022 which was adopted by Whitby's Council on Thursday, November 24, 2022.

I do not trust the government's intentions in this proposal. Doug Ford is seeking the interests of developers not ordinary Ontarians who need good and affordable housing that moves us in the right direction with our need to end a carbon economy and build homes while creating green jobs.

I am not opposed to building homes but building on green space is short sighted. I am totally opposed to Bill 28. My idea is to build smaller homes not mammoth luxury homes in areas where massive factories and old hospitals and school have closed.

The proposed changes to the Ontario Heritage Act should be removed from Bill 23.
There is no rationale or proof that the proposed changes to the Ontario Heritage Act in Bill 23 More Homes Built Faster Act 2022, will increase or help the supply of affordable housing.

I am very concerned about the flaws contained in the proposed Bill 23. The current Conservative government did not campaign on these changes and are poised to make important decisions without proper consultation.

I live in a listed but not registered century plus home in downtown Cobourg. Our house is an Ontario Vernacular Cottage. Although in downtown Cobourg, our home and all the houses on our street are located on 1/4 acre lots. The charm of our neighbourhood is placed at risk by these changes.

It is always good to question the long term effect of changing something. Without a history you have a hard time identifying with the place a country is in. Heritage buildings are so important to connecting us with the past of the land.

Heritage properties should be protected. Imposing restrictive timelines on municipalities to register listed properties is burdensome and will clearly result in the loss of heritage protections. The only people who benefit from this are developers.

Bill 23 should not be passed. While I agree with the preamble, that is that we need more housing, the measures being taken are not necessary for that to happen. We must protect our green space, especially the green belt, and build housing first along existing public transit corridors.

This act will cause further devastation to the environment and biodiversity, climate change, make us less food secure and depend more on food imports, and degrade the heritage and beauty of Ontario.
We need to strengthen laws that protect our land, not weaken them.

As far as I my research goes......there is no need for your Government to destroy the Greenbelt,or to build in urban areas ,or to build more highways when you could rethink the roads and land we already have available.
