Please do not squander the future of our children and grandchildren by opening up parts of the greenbelt...I am absolutely opposed to this. This is not a way to address the housing crisis and is a very regressive step--DONT DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Most of the changes in Bill 23 are targeted at removing wetland and woodland protections and creating a process for selling off conservation lands without oversight – the government has admitted these changes will only lead to the construction of about 50,000 of the promised 1.5 million homes.

Please do not expand our current boundaries. This is beautiful, irreplaceable farmland, wetland and forestry and once it is gone it is gone forever. This would be devastating both in the long term and short. Canada is a beautiful place, however the entire world cannot live here.

This is a gross misuse of power and public trust. There has been no evidence to prove the added land will benefit the environment at all and going forward with the proposal will only pad the pockets of those that support it.

I am a life-long resident of Mount Hope, Ontario. Home to an airport, all residents knew that development of the area was inevitable. However, the lack of proper infrastructure required to support this development is astounding.

The Greenbelt is unique and irreplaceable. This premier made a promise not to open development for building in the Greenbelt. We expect his government to keep this promise.

I am 100% opposed to any amendments to existing greenbelt legislation that would allow housing development in greenbelt areas. There is sufficient land available within city boundaries to allow for enough homes to be built to meet housing targets.

The answer to this proposal is a clear “no”, in my eyes. The Greenbelt is a collection of areas where major urbanization should not occur, because it would do great harm if it did!

Last year the citizens of Hamilton clearly spoke that they do not want an expansion of the city boundary into adjacent green belt lands, but want increased density within the current borders of the city.

Please find other solutions to create housing. The Greenbelt Area should not even be an option for creating housing. I will vote against any political party or candidate in favour of using Greenbelt Area for housing.
Developers currently hold a large amount of already approved development land and are not going ahead with building because the market for housing is weak. High interest rates have resulted in a decline in house prices and sales. Demand is low.

The Greenbelt does not have to be changed to alleviate the housing crisis. The governments own housing task force has said the government just needs to ensure land is used more efficiently for housing construction, not build on the Greenbelt.

This is the second time that ford has wanted to do this. It is an attach on our food supply. We support the wine and food industry 100% in Ontario.

The Green Belt is precious and ecologically valuable and must be preserved for future generations. Its development was a triumph. Land is used so inefficiently in Southwestern Ontario.

Why did Ford promise to leave the Greenbelt alone when he had no intention of doing so?!
We cannot just keep bulldozing through our natural habitats.
Build up, not out.
Please keep even one promise, one time.
It’s so tiring to see people taking advantage of the system for their own profit.

I wholeheartedly oppose this proposal. The Greenbelt is an incredibly delicate and important area that previous governments realized was key to maintaining our ecological system, fresh water and flood mitigation.

Doug Ford and the Conservatives need to be held accountable for election promises and take this off the table. This is a direct assault on the citizens of Ontario. We will fight this all the way.
