Before destroying valuable rural green space, Developers should be required to demonstrate they have exhausted any and all alternatives. This would create a movement to redevelop and densify older low-rise buildings in neighborhoods throughout the city of Toronto and its neighbouring communities.

Please don’t open up the greenbelt so developers can build profits. Listen to your task force and use the land already open more efficiently. We need to densify.
Building more suburbs is destroying communities and part of the reason people are becoming more isolated.

The rescindment of greenbelt protection undermines the whole premise of the program. Conservation zones are only useful if it is permanent, and not subject to the changing whim of political situation or short term economic benefits.

I do not agree with the proposition, there are other ways to create housing that do not include removing protected land from the green belt. The green belt is necessary for the air quality and general wellbeing of the surrounding cities.

As a young taxpayer who does not own a home due to skyrocketing housing costs, I wholeheartedly disagree with the Greenbelt housing proposal.

I support the addition of the Paris-Galt Morraine to the Green Belt.
I oppose the redesignations or removals from the Green Belt. Examples of concerns include:

This amendment is a travesty. It directly threatens our water supply, in ways that may take generations to repair. It's impossible to overstate how terrible developing the greenbelt is for the region's water supply.

The proposal is short-sighted and misguided. You can't just trade land and keep moving our green spaces further away. The Greenbelt is vital to our future and building more suburbs won't help us.

The greenbelt should not be developed. This is an incredibly short sighted decision that disregards provincial promises previously made. There is no need to expand any infrastructure into the greenbelt and all failing infrastructure currently existing should be invested in and augmented.
This proposal is poorly thought out and clearly not necessary. Ontario has enough land to develop and can significantly better use already developed land.

I am opposed to the proposal to change the Greenbelt boundaries. I live in a city in Niagara that has so much empty land held by developers who choose not to build for the good of the city. There is no need to increase boundaries that would displace wildlife and nature.

The development of locally protected green space and farmland will substantially harm current and future residents in the area. The destruction of these areas will hurt our access to affordable and local food, local nature areas, and destroy species at risk habitat.

Urban sprawl is not the answer. Protect the green belt. Please DO NOT start development on the green belt. What an environmental atrocity if this project went through.
This proposal is backwards and infuriating. We are so fortunate to have the Greenbelt lands that many organizations have worked so hard to protect. If this proposal is approved, the lives of thousands of animals and the well-being of many ecosystems are at stake.

Please do not touch change anything to the Greenbelt. There is zero reason at this time to expand into this are.
There is more than enough already allocated lands sitting idle.
This is clearly a way to allow developers to build large homes and add to sprawl.
