I would place my whole life savings that the houses built on the greenbelt will be single family houses. This really is the worst short-term band aid solution to housing issues. So much of our land is used to build unaffordable single family homes.

Removing land from the Greenbelt, which took many years to establish, needs much more study and debate, and this hasn’t even begun to happen.

I am writing with respect to the amendment to the Greenbelt proposed under the dubiously named 'More Homes Built Faster' plan. I am strongly opposed to this government's proposed plan.

I am 100% against building on the green belt. The Ontario government made promises that they would not touch the green belt, now they’re building on it. This is the last thing we should be doing during a climate emergency. Build in the city cores continue to build up, not out.

The Ontario government needs to Maintain all its farmland and building affordable housing in cities and towns We need farmland for food. Tax unoccupied housing and farmland double to encourage better use of ontarios resources
I live in Uxbridge part of the Oak Ridges Moraine where the waters flow south to Lake Ontario or to the north Lake Simcoe. This is a very fragile area.
All protected lands, especially wet lands are critical to the entire environment of Ontario.
Yes Ontario needs density not more sprawl.

According to the Report of the Ontario Housing Affordability Task Force, land is available, both inside the existing built-up areas and on undeveloped land outside greenbelts. The report goes on to state that greenbelts and other environmentally sensitive areas MUST BE PROTECTED.

Don’t mess with the greenbelt. There has to be better housing solutions. This proposal favours developers over environment which is wrong, and counter to many years of protection.

Dear Minister Clark,

This proposal is, on its' face, corrupt. Numerous developers purchased land in the Greenbelt after Doug Ford's Conservatives came to power (please refer to supporting links 1 and 2), even as Ford was saying that he would not touch the Greenbelt.

I am strongly against the plan to open the protected land in the province’s Greenbelt. One of the ways to increase housing supplies is to increase density.
when it comes to paving or housing over the greenbelt is their any consideration that by doing this it will negatively affect the biodiversity the ecosystems the richness of these lands the environment... once this happens it is lost forever .

This development should not proceed. The land that is considered for development is prime agricultural land. It is 66% more productive than anywhere else in Canada and supplies 52% of Ontario's fruits and 10% of its vegetables. ( Furgala, 2019).

This is a really horrible thing our government is seeking to do. I'm very much not in favor of this happening. It seems to me like this is a back room deal for a select few to get rich off of while the rest of the population will suffer and have to deal with the consequences.

While the addition of lands in the area of the Paris Galt Moraine is more than welcome the removal of lands from the existing Greenbelt should be put on hold until the ethical questions around the land are cleared up.

Absolutely no need to build on any existing greenbelt areas! Please preserve them! There's so much room for increased density in our cities, and single family homes are the least efficient and affordable way to add new housing.

We as a city of hamilton voted no to boundary expansion and developing the greenbelt when we stopped Sprawl. Just because Fords top donors are developers doesn't mean he can sell the green belt.

I’m very concerned with the continued encroachment on the Greenbelt for development. The Greenbelt is a vital living system that contributes to the conservation of clean air and water and provides vital recreation to Ontarions. Please preserve what we have! Stay off the Greenbelt!
