Ontarians are owed an explanation as to why this decision was made, that clearly contradicts campaign promises made by this government. Additionally, transparency regarding benefactors of this decision.

While I was pleasantly surprised to learn of the >1:1 offset policy in my perusal of the development proposal, I am nonetheless very concerned that insufficient ecological inventory of the land in question has been conducted.

As a lifelong resident of the Paris Galt Moraine and an advocate for the conservation of our beautiful land, this proposed amendment to the Plan is a sad attempt for our Premier to further pad his pockets and support his buddies behind the excavators.

I don't see any justification for the areas designated as Greenbelt to be developed versus developing areas outside of the Greenbelt. The Greenbelt designation is meaningless if this goes through, and I am strongly opposed to this amendment.

Everyone involved in the Proposed Amendments to the Greenbelt Plan should be ashamed of themselves. I am 100% against any of these proposed changes to the Greenbelt Plan. It's pathetic that the government is using the housing crisis as an excuse to destroy the Greenbelt.

I am opposed to the removal of protected Greenbelt lands, with a so-called substitution of lands. These Greenbelt lands were selected as the best lands for protection based on a lengthy, open, detailed and comprehensive public planning process.

I'm not happy about the proposed changes to Ontario's greenbelt. We are slowly developing every bit of natural land, bit by bit. Our greenbelt is important to many people in Ontario. Removing pieces and adding new pieces (of land that's already protected and undevelopable) is just sneaky.

The removal of any land from Ontario's precious Greenbelt is very short sighted and will result in long term damage to the valuable ecosystems found in Ontario. The proposal says that 50,000 new housing units could be built if all of the land proposed to be removed is developed.

This decision by government is the farthest thing from open and transparent as possible. Public servants have a clear obligation to avoid conflicts of interest and Premier Ford needs to follow the rules which have been put in place to ensure responsible government.
Land should NEVER be removed from the greenbelt & used for anything other than conservation. Stop Doug Ford and his business partners from developing the greenbelt.
I have concerns for the future of our environment in Canada. Right now the Premiere Doug Ford is trying to develop the area on the Greenbelt. This land is protected to prevent urban sprawl and our access to natural areas. This land is essential to our national plants and animals and Canadians.

The proposed changes to the green belt are a deeply disturbing idea that will set a precedent that protected lands can be unprotected. I am against this in the strongest terms possible. The growth of Ontario should not be at the expense of protected lands.
I think this is one of the worst ideas to come out of the ford government. We are in a global climate emergency, our governments need to take action to help conservation efforts.

I do not support the opening of existing Greenbelt land to development. The Greenbelt exists as it does for a purpose, to offset the environmental impacts of our existing urban areas.

We have plenty of land available to build on without gutting the Greenbelt. Nothing is worth losing our green areas, and I say that as someone who is aiming to buy their first house within the next few years.
