This bill is a disgrace. No one except already wealthy developers want this. Not only will it NOT solve our housing crisis but it will also impede the environmental protections in place. Its unacceptable.
Please do not be short-termists and build on greenbelt. It has to be an investment for our generation, and future generations.
The funding Premier Ford's party have received from some of the construction firms who stand to benefit from this seems worthy of investigation too.

Please consider seventh generation thinking, starting 2050 when we will face a shrinking world population and historic greenbelt expansion will look thoughtless.

The passing of Bill 23 is one of the worst bills in my lifetime. The Government has opened up protected farmland that provide some of the best fruit and vegetables in the country. Opening this land up to developers to line their pockets will do nothing for the housing affordability in our Province.

The Greenbelt is critical to protecting the quality of our drinking water and providing flood protection to the surrounding area. It also supports a diverse ecosystem, as well as fertile farmland that the surrounding area depends on.

Regular low/middle class Ontario people do not want this bill to pass. Investing in, improving and growing existing sites is a much better use of time and money, while maintaining our provinces MUCH needed green space.

I am addressing to the Bill 23 the greenbelt being destroyed to build homes.
There is no reason to use the greenbelt to build homes. Building homes there is for the wealthy not for the poor and disadvantaged. You are destroying wetlands and eventually pollute the rest of the wetlands.

The Greenbelt is essential habitat for endangered and at risk species not to mention the thousands of other species that call it home. Green spaces are essential in providing environmental services that EVERYONE relies such as carbon sequestration, cleaning polluted air and water.

The GreenBelt must be preserved at all costs. This is the future of our province and of our future generations. The fact that developers have purchased land in the GreenBelt when they knew they could not build on it, and,now, suddenly, they are able to build on these lands reeks of corruption.

I would like to see some transparency as to how these 15 parcels of land were selected.
Building on environmentally sensitive land may cause future homeowners to live in floodplains. Which will drive everyone's insurance cost up (if the insurance companies even offer insurance).

I appeal to your goodwill to not use this hard times (where people do not have time to supervise politics and politicians) to follow through with policies aimed to enrich Premier Ford's developmental friends and wreck the environment.

This proposal is a very bad idea and should be abandoned.
To allow political donors to profit at the expense of the long-term ecological health of the region does not pass the smell test.

Repeal Bill 23!
We have a responsibility to protect our Green Belt for the environment and for future generations. There are other, better alternatives to build housing -- prioritize density while leaving the Green Belt intact.

The Greenbelt is protected for a reason and I do not want greedy hands touching it.
I have been an Ontario resident for 30 years and I've never seen such disregard for Ontarians voices.

I cannot support the use of any current Green Belt land for housing. It is a backward step for the enviroment and ignores the need for farmland and watershed protection for future generations. Build houses on already designated land in cities throughout the province.
