I am deeply concerned by the betrayal of Mr Ford to uphold his previously stated policy of maintaining the Greenbelt but has instead sold out to developers who ,in turn,have donated millions to his party,alias him.This is disgraceful and the negative impact-as the result of greed-will be permanent.
Why should we go inside the greenbelt? even if we go inside and increase the area of the greenbelt, why didn't they increase it if it was that important? If we go inside the greenbelt and increase it we can’t replace the animals that habitat of that area.
The greenbelt provides:

Though I thoroughly agree with the desperate need to increase Ontario's housing stock, both owned and rental, I'm extremely discouraged by the Ontario government's decision to open the Greenbelt to development.

Dear Mr. Ford
I cannot believe you are completely breaking your Promise to not touch the greenbelt as it stands now. This just makes any kind of promise you might make suspect and looks like corruption of the worst kind.

Multiple studies completed by agencies, even some within this Government, have shown that opening up the Greenbelt is not necessary to meet the 1.5 Million Homes Target set by the Ontario Housing Affordability Task Force.

I feel like the green belt should not add more land because it can mess up the climate and also lots of habitats can be destroyed.
If they were also to do this some people would not like it because of the construction near there homes and it would be very noisy.

Please do not move forward with this. The Greenbelt was protected for a reason and that reason was not to remove it to build houses. Protecting the environment should be out #1 priority. Wetlands are a vital part of the environment.
I am another person 100% AGAINST developing the greenbelt.
I agree we are in a housing crisis, but dismantling environmental and heritage safeguards that have been in place for decades is not the right way for "more homes built faster". Under Ford, Ontario is moving backwards. Why do we have to remove environmental protections to build homes?

I strongly disagree with the greenbelt being used. I think that there are other ways to accommodate growth. Instead of building a bunch of houses we could build apartments or maybe take down abandoned buildings for more land. We need the greenbelt to grow food and for the animals to survive.

How short sighted does a government have to be? The Greenbelt is imperative to our city's health. Developers do not need more and more. New housing can be created within the city limits.

There are other options. Please DO NOT use the Greenbelt for housing. Our future cannot afford this. PLEASE understand that we are at a critical time in human history and we need all the weapons at our disposal to fight climate change and environmental decline.

My name is Anna and I am a lifetime resident of Ontario. I am very concerned about the implications of Bill 23. I grew up in Brampton and have seen the types of communities that result from urban and suburban sprawl.

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on proposed amendments to the Greenbelt Plan as outlined in ERO 019-6216 and as related to the Government of Ontario’s More Homes Built Faster plan.

We need the greenbelt to allow our communities access to clean food, air and living. If this goes through it will bring irrevocable damage to the Greenbelt — which Premier promised to leave untouched.

Before any consideration is put towards opening up any space in the greenbelt a heartfelt effort should be made by the province to make use of lands that are currently in built up areas. Infill projects and more density in R1 areas should be the focus.

Where will it end? Why are we always having to fight to keep green space that is supposedly "protected". It is way too easy in this Country for developers to just decide to overturn a natural landscape, and far more difficult to rectify that after the damage has been done.
