We need our farmland. With food insecurity on the rise it is more important now than ever we are able to produce things ourselves. Wars are affecting our grain imports. Droughts have doubled the price of lettuce.

Please do not change the green belt. There are many buildings throughout Ontario that can be repurposed into affordable housing. Stripping the environment of protected areas will be devastating and take years if ever to recover from.
Hell no.
There has to be a better solution that eating up green space. We have already seen the effects in other flood plains that have been overdeveloped.
I am one of many who does not want the Greenbelt touched. The point of protecting land is to protect it from this. Doug Ford said straight to the camera in 2018 that the people already told him not to and he listens to the people and won’t touch it. He needs to uphold this promise.

I do not agree with this plan as it is extremely destructive for the ecosystems we rely so heavily on. There is a lot of unused/abandoned space in Toronto, the GTA, and even further in places such as KW.

What exactly is the point of protecting greenspace via legislation if some politician can just wipe it out for financial gain? This is unnacceptable. We are already losing natural habitats for a variety of species... Keep your grubby hands off the greenbelt.
I am writing to express my opposition to Bill 23 and associated policy proposals that would weaken environmental protections and undermine public involvement in land use planning and decision-making. We need the greenbelt land for future generations to have a safe and healthy future.
We do not need to use the green belt for more single family homes. All this bill helps are the already successful developer companies. It does not tackle the issue of the housing crises at all because a lot of these home they will be building will be unattainable for most.

The Ontario government should go back to promoting densification, not sprawl. Create walkable, livable cities, not car-centric suburbs. Show people what their life could be like if they lived within 10km from where they work. Ontario needs a progressive government.
The removal of these restrictions will not improve the housing crisis. New houses that will be built will be priced just as high as the current market price. It is not worth destroying lands that have been preserved for many years just for a few more houses. Protect our environment!

Housing affordability is important but developing in the greenbelt is NOT necessary to fix the problem. Ontario has a lot of land that isn't in the greenbelt.

I am extremely upset, disappointed and saddened by this recent move by the Ford government to trump rights and democratic voices, and go back on promises that were made to the public about the Ontario Greenbelt lands in favor of cronyism and developer profit.

As an Ontarian who has had the privilege of living in the Green Belt for 20 years, I am deeply disturbed by the proposal to develop this socio-ecologically important space. Please re-consider this proposed plan. This province needs more exemplary conserved spaces like the Green Belt, not fewer.
I urge the Premier to:
- withdraw the plan to remove lands from the Greenbelt
- get on with a meaningful Greenbelt expansion that reflects public input - repeatedly promised but never delivered by the Ford government
