Building homes for the anticipated growth of the province is completely needed but taking Greenbelt land and converting it into quickly developed buildings to support 3% of the overall Bill 23 1.5 million goal makes zero sense.

I am against this proposal. I haven’t heard any good reasons why land should be taken from the Greenbelt to be developed, but there are many good arguments about why we should NOT take land from the Greenbelt.
I would like to hear more from the government about these points specifically:

As an Ontario resident, I am horrified by the Ontario Government’s intention to remove 7,400 acres of precious farmland and natural areas from Greenbelt protection.

What your government is doing is appalling. You are betraying the people of Ontario and worse, betraying our environment. You need to KEEP YOUR GREENBELT PROMISE!
I'm appalled that Premier Ford has broken his promise to keep his hands off the Greenbelt. There's no need to carve up this ecologically important land mass. According to the government-appointed Housing Affordability Task Force, a shortage of land isn’t the cause of the province’s housing crisis.

The vast majority of the population, save for a select few wealthy landowners, are not in favour of this decision. We are begging you to think of our environment and the active ecosystem present in the green belt. We are begging you to think of the citizens, not the wealthy.
DO NOT hand over the "protected" Greenbelt to developers. Be creative!! There are other solutions to develop new housing. This issue is not going away. To the many people I have spoken to not one, not one, not one, is in favour of giving up any of the existing Greenbelt.
Ontario and the GTA need to focus on sustainable growth without succumbing to the knee-jerk reaction to pave everything and build more low-density car-dependent single family homes and highways. We do not need it. We need sustainable growth. Look to the future.
Expanding construction in the Greenbelt will have a negative impact not just on the local environment but also the water quality across the GTA and Lake Ontario waterfront. It will also negatively impact GTA flood risk.

We can agree that housing is an issue that needs to be addressed, and the housing issue can be addressed, but in a more appropriate and sustainable way.

I'm very concerned by the proposed Greenbelt changes. It is challenging balancing the need for housing with the need for food security, but this balance is not struck effectively with these regulations.

Do not develop the Greenbelt - keep your promises! My property taxes shouldn't go up because you gave tips to developers to buy land that was and should be protected.
