This proposal is an absolute sham and borderline criminal. It is particularly insulting as it stands to enrich developers with NO GUARANTEE of benefits to the public.

I completely disagree with the proposed amendments to the Greenbelt plan. Stop development on the greenbelt and keep the current boundaries. There are better ways to build housing and neighborhoods.
Please do not sacrifice the Greenbelt in the name of the housing crisis. There are so many other opportunities to increase density or develop elsewhere without destroying or impacting one of the most important naturally protected land in our province.
I would like to voice my absolute opposition to opening up parcels of the Greenbelt to development. The fact that this government is willing to put environmentally sensitive land at risk for the profit of a small number of developers is outrageous and beyond conscionable.

I do not support the development of green space for housing. Municipalities have offered other housing solutions, and we have many existing spaces and buildings which could be repurposed to support demand. Additionally, we could be developing outside the GTA.

The plan to build housing on parcels of the Green Belt in the GTA is misguided, short-sighted, and alarming. Misguided, because there are plenty of alternatives to increase housing without having to build on pristine watersheds.

I DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE AMENDMENTS. Taking land away from the greenbelt is a travesty. If you really wanted to address the housing shortage, easing zoning policies to allow more dense housing in areas that are, right now, dominated by single family homes would be much more effective.
This proposal is a horrible idea with the ONLY intent to support the 1% and fill their already full pockets, while the working class who make this province run continue to be unable to enter the housing market.

Building on the Greenbelt is a massive mistake that will have many negative environmental impacts. Please focus building in the downtown core of Hamilton- where it should be!
The greenbelt was established for a number of reasons, building over it helps no one. Ontario has a lot of space. Why not find a way to encourage settlement away from the GTA/Golden Horseshoe? Why not build in the north and find a way to incentivise population growth there?

I strongly believe we should NOT develop the protected land that is the Green Belt. If we need more housing, build vertically (more high density housing). Do not take over land that Ontario and Ontarians have already decided to protect for environmental reasons.

The green belt is an important part of our ecosystem and in maintaining equilibrium and homeostasis. We strongly oppose the development of the green belt and urge the provincial government to instead promote conservation strategies of this land.
I am deeply appalled by the sneaky arrangement to have the Greenbelt divvied up and hand delivered to The premier’s buddies. It’s a disgusting attempt to make it seem like it is in the provinces best interest when in fact it’s nothing more than another slap in the face.
