I have read the Ontario Housing Affordability Task Force report published February 2022, and so I appreciate the housing crisis Ontario is facing.
However, within the same report, it reiterates that encroaching in the Greenbelt is unnecessary to address the housing issues Ontario is facing.

Please do not do this. One of ontarios many attractions is the leaves in the fall. The gta is a concrete jungle and paving more will just make it so. Southern Ontario with its architecture is not please. There is already very little forests in the cities and you have to drive out 2 hours already.

This more homes faster act is a farce - this government promised to keep the Greenbelt. This housing crisis has been building for years with speculators and foreign investors, LLCs, shell companies etc. who should not have been allowed to make profit off of housing.

This is a protected space that was promised to be left alone and in the midst of the school and housing crisis currently going on the Ford government is trying to sneak through these changes to the amendment. We want this land to continue staying protected. Leave the Greenbelt area alone.
We all know the land was recently sold to developers with strong ties to Doug Ford. We all know who these people are, that will benefit from paving over our Greenbelt. It should be investigated.

Ontario does not need to demolish another eco system to build more "affordable" housing.
The housing they build will not be affordable, most Canadians can not get a mortgage because they cannot afford it. We need real affordable housing solutions like apartments for working class Canadians.

As a citizen of ontario I am 100% opposed to this plan. The greenbelt is to remain untouched, not developed into subdivisions.
The greenbelt is supposed to be a legacy for all of ontario, not reserve of land for Doug and developers to capitalize on.

I urge the premier to:
• withdraw the plan to remove lands from the greenbelt
▪︎get on with meaniful Greenbelt expansion with public input - previously promised

I have lived in Ontario for 20 years - my family even longer. I vehemently oppose removing some of the green belt (even if “temporarily”) to increase housing. Governments change, but our environment doesn’t.

The proposed changes to the Greenbelt Plan will be disastrous for our province from an environmental perspective and will NOT resolve the issue of creating affordable, accessible housing.

Extremely disappointing that this government is blatantly going back on its word. There is enough land in this province to build without taking away from the greenbelt. Such a disappointment that my childrens' generation will be paying for. Shame.
This new plan does not solve the issue of sensible growth because it encourages growth only for specific types of housing in the Greenbelt, where we should be protecting for biodiversity.

I do not support the amendments proposed to the Greenbelt. I implore that our Premier keep his promise to preserving the Greenbelt lands. I will lose much respect for this government if they go back on their promise.
