I do not agree with the development of housing near the green belt . There is plenty of land elsewhere to develope housing . We must protect our greenlands for future generations. Please consider somewhere else and protecting the environment .
Good afternoon! I personally feel like removing any greenery would not be beneficial for the city and goes against the environmental policies that the government is currently supposed to be supporting. As much as the housing is an issue I believe that this is not a suitable solution to the problem.

Nobody wants this to happen. The greenbelt should be a protected space. Its very important for torontonians that these places should be protected rather than built on. Please protect this space from doug ford!!
We do not need more sprawl and single family homes! We need to push for zoning changes to permit mixed use, dense, medium rise neighbourhoods. Single family homes in the greater golden horseshoe area will only provide further inventory for investors to speculate on or be swept up by the wealthy.

This proposal is a terrible idea, the Green belt is protected for a reason. Without it, we are left with very little standing in between us and climate change. The new housing built will be pointless if it’s destroyed in a flood.

As a resident of Ontario I strongly oppose this plan. The addition of 9400 acres includes land already protected within city boundaries, this is intentionally misleading the public.

This is a complete disgrace of democracy. The PC party agreed not to take land from the greenbelt and now are caving to developers who padded there election with money. This is a sell out to the people of Ontario and all honest taxpayers.

The Greenbelt was established to ensure Ontario would always have land necessary to grow food. Some of the best land in the country. Rich soil. Once it is destroyed there is no reclaiming it. GONE.
There are many smaller cities in Ontario that could support growth.

As the world works to reduce our impact on the environment and increase our resiliency in the face of climate change, this legislation is short-sighted and clearly has only one thing in mind: growth without consequence. Build up not out please, build smart not foolishly.

The purpose of the greenbelt is to PROTECT agricultural and environmentally sensitive lands from development. After decades of promising to leave the land intact, why are we going back to cut into it? The cuts to the greenbelt will likely result in a loss for our ecosystems.

Ontario's Greenbelt is the world's largest, protecting farmland, forests, wetlands, rivers, and lakes. Greenbelt is important for a climate resilient and thriving economy
I do not support any removal of Greenbelt land for development, including housing. Urban sprawl is not the way forward to adding homes in Ontario. We need to add density and services to support that density in our cities.

Please do not allow for this. We have many other options for development without eating into our green belt and wetlands.
Once made, this cannot be reversed.
We have a responsibility to ourselves and future generations to preserve these areas at all costs.
This proposal would be disastrous for Ontarians. The Greenbelt must be preserved - the land is not ideal for building housing developments, and those who live in these homes will most definitely experience floods, etc. as a result. Protect nature! Housing can be built elsewhere via rezoning.
This proposal is very bad. We don't need more greenfield suburban sprawl built on protected land. The status quo-- continuing to build endlessly expanding, low density, car-centric, cookie-cutter subdivisions-- is not a sustainable or desirable outcome. You want to address the housing shortage?

While housing is an important issue so is protecting the natural environment in Ontario. We need space for people to enjoy the outdoors. More construction means more carbon emissions into the environment and taking the Greenbelt away is taking trees away to combat these emissions.
