This bill is something I has captured my interest. I am the much touted rarity in Canadian politics— a citizen who had voted for all three major parties in my life and who is open to the idea of voting for each of them in the future.

If enacted, this proposal will be detrimental to the long term environmental sustainability, growth and well being of Ontario and its residents, and will have overwhelming negative consequences.

The reduction of farmland and forests in Ontario continues to decline and is only exacerbated when proposals such as this one are pushed through without adequate ecological assessment or consideration of wise alternatives.

Terrible idea. This is short-sighted policy. We do not need more sprawl, and many experts have confirmed that we do not actually have a shortage of land. This is a slippery slope to allow developers to simply lobby to have land removed from the Greenbelt. We need to protect it at all costs.

Don't touch the greenbelt!! There is no need! Build more houses in etobicoke, where I live. I'd love to have the density near the airport so I can have descent public transit.
It is disgraceful that this governemnt is supporting the destruction of the precious natural area that we have left in the GTA. Our goal as a society should be to preserve and conserve nature.

Hello,

Absolutely against this. Will only contribute to urban sprawl, worse commuter traffic, loss of farmland, and loss of habitat instead of placing affordable, space efficient housing near workplace and where people want to live.
This proposed changes to the Greenbelt undermine decades of work to preserve the land. This government was elected on a promise to not do away with the Greenbelt. Bill 39 slaps the face of democracy.

I am VERY OPPOSED to any building happening on the Greenbelt!!!! This area is so important environmentally to protect and conserve, for both air and water quality.
For the Conservative government to put this through is so telling that they have no intention of protecting our environment.

This is one of the most distressing of any decisions this year government has made. To break up the greenbelt to build homes , which we desperately need, does not solve ANY of

The Government of Ontario was aware that dismantling the Greenbelt would be unpopular, Doug Ford made a point of promising not to touch the protected land because he knew what his constituents would disagree.
