Development within an already protected area of the Greenbelt should be avoided. The proposal to only remove as much land as is added to keep the total area of the Greenbelt the same or greater is a decent compromise. However this idea can only be acceptable if it is actually followed through. Read more

You can’t undo damage to the Greenbelt once it’s been done. The land is protected for countless species, to protect headwaters, and more. It is possible to build housing for new residents elsewhere - it is impossible to rebuild the delicate ecosystems being threatened once it’s too late. Read more

The Greenbelt Act is about the protection of ecosystems. It is wrong to remove and add pieces of land as you see fit. Think about future generations, where will they grow their food, and connect with nature? By all means make the Greenbelt larger, but don’t take land away from it. Read more

The Ontario government's proposal to remove 2,995 hectares of land from the Greenbelt would have far-reaching and irreversible negative consequences for our sensitive ecosystems if approved. The proposal should be dismissed for a number of reasons. Read more

I don’t agree removing the existing greenbelt. The government need to move companies outside GTA so people can move out of GTA. Its a crazy mess what GTA and surrounding areas have become. So I don’t support remove the current greenbelt but ask the government to move companies outside Toronto

This proposal is terrifying. It will obliterate some of the last remaining forests in the south of this province. This is harmful and irresponsible. Citizens are too distracted by hospital overwhelm and underpaid school workers to realize this is happening.

Developing Greenbelt land into residential space is shortsighted and takes the easy way out.I expect my government to be more creative in its solutions. I am also disappointed that our premier has broken his promise not to develop this land. He has lost my vote.
