I am appalled and disgusted with your government's decision to build on the greenbelt.
These lands as you are aware but painfully ignore are vital to growing food and where there are wetlands, protecting and cleaning ground water.

Please do not take away land from the Green Belt. If land continues to be taken away, when will it end? You propose adding more, meanwhile a habitat will still be destroyed.
With the official plans being updated and changes to the urban boundaries there are already 14,075 hectares (34,780 acres) available for development in parts of southern Ontario, which include
• 4,647 hectares (11,483 acres)of new urban land added in Peel Region

Subdivisions do not solve tax, infrastructure or housing problems. It seems the epitome of short sighted thinking to remove active carbon sinks in the midst of a climate crisis. There are better and more appropriate ways to meet the housing demand.

Please stop this move to open up our Greenland to development. This for our grandchildren’s future and not to put money into the pockets of developers. Develop the 80000 that has already been marked for development . PLEASE
This is despicable. I emphatically condemn the Ontario government's plan to open Greenbelt lands for housing. The entire point of the Greenbelt is that these lands remain untouched and undeveloped.

We do not support Bill 23 and rezoning or building in the protected lands in this Province. If the Ford government wants to build new housing they should do so with the thoughtful consultation of the local governments and build housing that benefits moderate to low income families in Ontario.

Green belt is one of the most important areas of Ontario. Taking it away and distributing to developers is an irresponsible act of Ford government. Once the land is taken, it is gone forever.

This new proposal is nothing but destructive only to save a few minutes on one’s commute. We need to prioritize pour earth over the connivence of getting to work 10 minutes earlier. Stop the GreenBelt Plan!
Green space is so important for our communities and our collective health and well-being. We should not prioritize another highway. As a taxpayer and resident of Toronto, I am against this proposed amendment.
Why ruin this protected land? Once we develop it we can never get it back. Please consider protecting our most precious resource and prioritize housing density rather than sprawl.
After travelling to other provinces, and consistently seeing how much respect they have for their natural landscapes, and preserving nature it is consistently disappointing to recognize Ontario’s lack of respect for nature and green space.

I am concerned about the expansion of development that is proposed by this government that will cut into the Greenbelt. Reports are that there is already enough land for urban growth without boundary expansion.

I am absolutely against changing any aspect of the green belt. In todays climate, all southern green spaces should be kept. There are other solutions to housing crisis - high rise buildings with multiple units, revamping abandon areas and relocation North.

As a resident of Ontario I am absolutely appalled by the proposed changes to Greenbelt space for development by the Ford government.
Doug Ford promised that the Greenbelt would remain protected and this proposal breaks this promise his government made to voters.

I am opposed to selling the green belt. This is land that should be preserved and I am horrified that Doug Ford would back down from his promise to protect it.
The current proposal by the Ontario Conservative Party, under Premier Doug Ford, to build "affordable" homes on The Greenbelt is a broken promise and a betrayal of the public interest.

This abuse and removal of the vital greenbelt is a very short sighted and misled strategy. We cannot easily replace Greenspace that feeds our province. I do not support this action that favours builders and ignores the vital food support system for Ontario.
