The Ford government is seriously off target by aiming Build More Homes Faster initiatives at the Niagara Greenbelt. Pursuing this proposal will "Kill Greenbelt Biodiversity Even Faster". Once the damage is done it will be irreparable.

I oppose new development within the existing greenbelt, and particularly in the Oak Ridges Moraine. The Oak Ridges Moraine is a critical aquifer for Ontario, and is immensely important to the replenishment of Toronto's river systems.

The proposed changes to the Greenbelt Area boundary are appalling. Hamilton residents have spoken clearly that we do NOT want our boundary expanded. While there is a housing crisis in Hamilton building more homes in these outer areas will not address the issue.

This is a horrible idea we need to protect the green space we have. To deal with the housing crisis we can address the zoning and capacity of currently developed areas. Leave the green belt alone and allow for sustainable development of current areas
As an Ontarian, I strongly disagree with the plan to remove land from the Greenbelt. This will set precedent for additional removal of the Greenbelt and have serious ramifications on our environment. It seems like Premier Ford doesn't have his priorities straight.

I do not believe it is necessary to develop any of the greenbelt, cities instead should be developing within their existing borders and adding a mix of different housing styles and densities.

I, a Canadian Citizen and resident of Ontario, would like to enter into record that I am vehemently opposed to these potential amendments.
While I acknowledge the housing crisis is of utmost importance I emplore the government to look for solutions elsewhere.

As a resident of Ontario who is currently priced out of owning a home, housing is an important issue. However, the Greenbelt should remain a protected area. Allowing housing in the Greenbelt will not fix the housing crisis or affordability crisis.

I do not wish to see lands removed from the existing Greenbelt. Those lands were designated in 2005, less than 20 years ago. It is a shame that the government believes protecting land is a short-term endeavour.

This proposal to open up 7,400 acres of the greenbelt is unconscionable. The Greenbelt is supposed to be protected forever. CONSERVED. There is land elsewhere to build on. I oppose this proposal.

Ontario does not need more expanding suburban sprawl. Along with the housing crisis is an affordability crisis, and these new houses will not address that problem, which needs to be addressed.

7500 acres of green land spaces is a high price to pay for our future ecosystems. We need to say “No” to eroding away our Greenbelt which impact so many living wildlife, plants, water and prime agricultural land must be protected for future generations. Not a wise use for housing.
We absolutely do not need to remove parts of the greenbelt to build more housing. There is a ton of usable land as well as the ability to increase density in places already occupied.

I am writing today to register my opposition to the changes in the Greenbelt which have been made in support of bill 23 to build more homes faster bill. It is necessary for us to have a bill called the happy healthy homed Ontarians bill.

Has there been a comparison between the lands lost and the compensatory lands in terms of habitat quality and ecosystem services? What will be done to replace the ecosystem services lost in those areas when they are developed into homes?

This proposal defies basic logic: The point of the Greenbelt is that it's closed for development. If it's opened for development it's by definition no longer protected. This is an obvious trojan horse.
