THIS IS A TRAVESTY. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO DO THIS AGAINST THE WISHES OF THE MAJORITY OF ONTARIANS. Doug Ford’s friends just recently purchased this land and this needs to be investigated at the highest degree!! This is sinful!!!
I cannot believe that in this day and age any government would propose taking protected greenbelt land in any area of Ontario or Canada for building housing on it. Once land is paved and developed it has gone forever. We do need affordable housing but in serviced areas of the Cities and Towns.

I fully oppose Bill 23. Doug Ford does not have a mandate to develop the Greenbelt as this issue was never brought up during the election as he promised not to touch the Greenbelt previously.

Wildlife won’t move to the new areas. You can’t give birds and animals a map. We will loose them! The tender fruit areas should not be touched; it will create more supply issues and increase the cost of food. It would hurt our wine industry! I love Niagara peaches! The Greenbelt is sacred!

Let's examine the undisputed facts. In the 2018 provincial election, the leader of the Conservative Party told Ontarions that if elected to government, his government would not open up protected lands in the Green Belt for development.

This is the worst idea ever. This will not solve the housing crisis it will only line the pockets of rich developers who were already tipped off about this deal by Doug Ford. Not to mention the cost to city coffers the loss of infrastructure charges etc.

Once the green belt is opened to development, I am afraid that there will be no end to the sectioning off of land until there is nothing left.

Lack of land isn’t the reason for Ontario’s housing crisis; this government’s own Housing Affordability Task Force delivered a report saying the same: "but a shortage of land isn’t the cause of the problem.

Numerous municipal leaders have already pointed out that there are terrible repercussions with this unnecessary move. Ford already promised and committed to not touching the Greenbelt.
The Greenbelt Act was a promise to permanently protect these agricultural and environmentally sensitive lands from development. A promise that should be kept.

Please do not take away any land that comes under the green Belt , for any construction or development, housing or Roads. We need our green space, instead plant more trees. Thank you
This is criminal.
You can’t just remove protected lands from the Greenbelt whenever you want.
The greenbelt is protected for a reason, to keep corporate interests from destroying our environment.
Selling the land to a bunch of shell corporations is not in the interest of Ontarians.

Opening up the Greenbelt to development is a policy error. The need to build more housing in Ontario is necessary for the future, but this is a mistake that will cater to the profits of developers and create housing that will cater to the upper classes.

Please do not make any changes to the Greenbelt. We need more Green areas to combat global warming. Land that has been allocated for the Greenbelt should stay that way. Please do not develop by constructing Roads, houses or any other Urban development. We need more trees & greenery. Thank you.
Leave the greenelt alone. There is plenty of space within our cities to build actual affordable housing. This plan of unrestricted sprawl is not sustainable and does nothing to help the affordabe housing market. Along with the plan to cut developers fees the whoe thing becomes ludicrous
Please do not remove land from the greenbelt. When the premier of Ontario was running for office he said he was listening to the people of Ontario and that he would not build on the greenbelt. Listen to the people of Ontario and protect the green belt.

Another broken promise by Doug Ford
No mention of this in the election.
No mandate to change a provincial TRUST!
More money leaving the pockets of taxpayers and
Municipalities and going into the pockets of
Developers and friends of the Conservatives!!!

The green belt should not be used for housing development. 53% of the fruit acreage in Ontario comes from farms in the green belt. We need a sustainable future for the next generation. While I appreciate we are in a housing crisis this is not the way to tackle it.
