I think it is absurd to weaken the rules on this. New infrastructure can destroy the land meant to be there to protect wildlife. We are already living in a world where the environment is taking a toll due to our consumption and how we live; thus, we must protect the little wildlife we have. Read more

This proposal is two terrible ideas in one. It's getting rid of natural habitats and replacing it with urban sprawl. It's clear Ford doesn't have the best interests for Ontario. We need more densification and walkable communities. Traffic is already absolutely terrible.

We do not need this highway. We need to protect the conservation areas. We need raises for our nurses. We need lower wait times in hospitals. We need better education systems. We need help with student loans. We need affordable, wheelchair accessible, low income housing. Read more

I have lived in Ontario my whole life and I am a student studying environment and business at the university of Waterloo. Developing on this protected area will have so many consequences for both people and the environment that we cannot undo. Read more

Why not use the unused office building space we already have available in Toronto, instead of expanding needlessly into the greenbelt (destroying our wildlife)? Please consider the future of Ontario - do the right thing, leave the greenbelt untouched. There are other solutions.

I feel like utilizing empty government buildings and work buildings as housing/condos either low income or not would be a more beneficial way to repurpose what is already in existence; and not take more land away from the animals and plants that need to thrive for the environment. Read more

There is no need to develop the Greenbelt. It is protected for a reason. Deregulating wetland and wetland adjacent land is detrimental to Ontarian ideals. This amendment will negatively impact greenspace for generations, as there is no undoing the damage that will be done by building here. Read more
