No, do not change the green belt boundaries.
Forest and river ecosystems take time to grow and develop. Simply moving the boundary back does not grow a new forest overnight. It takes years to grow something that takes minutes to destroy.

Stop destroying valuable land for urban sprawl Ontario government released reports saying this isn't benifital to our economy or ecosystem stop allowing unnecessary greed and selfishness.
I and many others are steadfastly against this proposal.
There are other options to densify the GTA instead of add more sprawl. This will end up causing more problems and disaster issues down the road.
Where are the scientific studies to show the effects of this plan?!?!?
i am vehemently opposed to sacrificing protected greenbelt for the benefit of either road construction or housing. the designation was meant to give lasting conservation of land critical to the already declining health of the environment. find another way.
I do not support any removal of Greenbelt land for development, including housing. Urban sprawl is not the way forward to adding homes in Ontario. We need to add density and services to support that density in our cities.

Removal of Greenbelt designation from certain areas for housing development is an irresponsible precedent to set for future governments, regardless of party affiliation.

It is irresponsible to sacrifice land that is valuable to many, for luxury residences for a few. This new proposal to reduce the Greenbelt refutes the goals of - and diminishes the government's commitment to - environmental stewardship.

What are you doing? Why are you backtracking on Ford's election promises. We as a province, country and world cannot keep eliminating green space and agricultural space.
Shameful.... Ford stated he is for the people but clearly is not!
Doug Ford promised not to touch the greenbelt. The situation hasn't changed, he just blatantly lied. Changing the Greenbelt will result in destruction of wetlands in addition to decreased flood prevention and decreased quality and quantity of drinking water.

As a citizen of Ontario living in the golden horseshoe I strongly oppose the development of the greenbelt. We need the greenbelt to support our local environment, including the prevention of flooding and preservation of biodiversity.

Urban sprawl is bad. We know this and experience across North America supports it. It's bad for the environment, bad for creating livable communities, and bad for the public purse. The proposed amendments allow for more sprawl in Ontario.

Stop this nonsense. We all know that the people who need homes won't be able to afford the million dollar, poorly built monstrosities that you want to construct far away from any amenities! This is very clearly Ford's plan to put money into the pockets of developers.

Please do not sell out Ontarians. I know my statement may sound biased, but selling out drinking water filtration system for some businesses is short sited and flawed.
Grow our transit system, allow for smoother inter city travel and facilitate multiple business hubs in Ontario.

Really very against this very bad idea- please do not redevelop the greenbelt. Most ontarians do NOT want this!
Once we give it up, we can never get it back.
I am absolutely opposed to this amendment. We should not be removing parts of the Greenbelt area in order to meet housing demand. The housing crisis cannot be solved by developing on greenfields.

I am absolutely opposed to the amendment and changes. This is a huge step back and backpedalling on the Ford government's promises to not touch the Greenbelt. We should not be removing parts of the Greenbelt area in order to meet housing demand.
