Not sure how this is going through without support. We need to protect farmland because we need to provide food for the future. Allowing developers to build without fees is a disaster for the environment, taxpayers and just people who need homes in general.
Aside from what should be the VERY obvious detrimental environmental impact, not a single blade of grass should be touched until a thorough examination of Doug Ford and his friends/contacts and their purchases of land in and around the green belt.

What disturbs me most about the passing of this bill is its shortsightedness and lack of proper planning. Municipalities, environmental groups, housing experts and citizens alike oppose Bill 23 because simply put- it will not fix the housing crisis.

It is incomprehensible how the Ford's Government just last year promised that the Greenbelt lands were untouchable for development. And to have the same government do a 180 just a few months ago, proposing to remove 15 parcels of land for development, is nothing short of a betrayal.

The Greenbelt is a protected area, and has been for years, opening it up for development is an incredibly slippery slope that can have harmful effects for our environment and quality of life.

I do not support any development on the Greenbelt or moraine, nor the trading of lands, or swapping of lands, in order for development to occur on the greenbelt now or in the future. I do not support housing on being built on the lands of the future “Pickering airport”.

Please do not destroy the green belt in Ontario. We need this land to remain as it is.
There must be other solutions that won’t impact our green belt!
Say no to Doug ford and the bill he’s trying to pass.
He is going against his word!
I write to state my opposition to the proposal to remove 7,400 acres of land from the Greenbelt, which was revealed on November 4, 2022.
Bill 23 will not increase development of affordable housing.

Not only will the Greenbelt development plan destroy critical environmentally sensitive habitats and farmlands, it has basis in unethical and corrupt business dealings on the part of the Ford government.

This Act and the proposal to withdraw 15 areas from the Greenbelt and require that they be planned in great haste and then developed at warp speed –
Is nuts.

I object to the deregistration of the following lands from the Greenbelt:
Land located in the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville at 11861 and 12045 McCowan Road Map 4
Land located in City of Markham at 5474 19th Ave. at the northeast corner of 19th Ave. and McCowan Road Map 4
