I am writing because I am extremely concerned about the proposed amendments to the Greenbelt Plan. This will destroy forests and wetlands and imperil precious farmland. Please don't choose profit for developers over the future of our land.

Do not sell this land. It is not to build on. It is to house wildlife. It is their home. Not ours. We have taken enough and built enough. The world does not need more luxury housing complexes. The world needs trees, clean water, wildlife, ecosystems, sustainable progress.
I am very upset that these significant changes are being made to the Greenbelt. The Greenbelt is intended to be conserved PERMANENTLY to prevent urban sprawl, to protect important corridors for animals to travel, and to preserve the natural vegetation.

I do not support this proposal. If approved, this will set a precedent that the Greenbelt designation ultimately has no substantive protection and means nothing. This will enable future removals of Greenbelt land with more ease and acceptance, and the term Greenbelt will eventually erode.

The Greenbelt is the largest intact patch of near-urban nature and agricultural land on the planet. 84% of Ontarians consider it a source of pride.

I am writing to state my opposition to the proposal to remove 7,400 acres of land from the Greenbelt, which was revealed on November 04. Climate change is a huge concern and removing parts of the Greenbelt will have devastating consequences on the wetlands, woodlands and other natural areas.

This is terrible for the environment and many endangered species. You cannot get farmland back once it is paved over. It will cause flooding and will affect future generations. We must protect this land. This will not help the average family buy a home.

This amendment and actually Bill 23 is a very sad and unbelievable case of Mr. Ford’s broken promise of not touching the Greenbelt Area. There are lands available all over Ontario and of course outside the Greenbelt for as many houses as Mr. Ford’s government intend to build.

This plan as it stands is pro-sprawl. The plan to support ontario's expected population growth through sprawl (that will likely only serve single-family homes) without efficient regional rail will only make congestion worse.

At this time in history, it is unbelievable that the government would REMOVE restrictions protecting the environment. That seems like an oxymoron. Climate change is a fact-we all see it and live it every day. To ignore it is one thing, but to further advance it is irresponsible.

I do not support Bill 23. We need to protect our green spaces and find alternatives to building housing. The GTA has very little green spaces already and we can not continue to build housing in an already dense area.

As someone who is hoping to buy my first home in the coming years, I can understand the appeal of this proposal. However, I would be greatly saddened to learn that my ability to buy a house would come at the cost of our environment.

When Ford ran for office he promised he would not develop the Greenbelt and now it seems he lied to us. This is NOT a solution for the housing problem and he must stand behind the promises he made. To encroach onto the Greenbelt is unacceptable!!
This is really sickening. Please leave the Greenbelt alone. I am a realtor and can appreciate the need for development but we do have other options available to us without having to encroach on the Greenbelt. There are more responsible ways to develop Ontario.
This is absurd and ridiculous. In times of climate change, we need to preserve more green areas, not pave them over. Have we learned nothing? This is the kind of thing supervillains in movies would do. Stop.
