Growing up within the greenbelt, I learned to value the land and unique ecosystems therein. These spaces should not be compromised for half-baked housing crisis solutions. The only additional provisions to the greenbelt should be the expansion and restoration of conservation land.

I oppose this proposal. Our green belt must be preserved and maintained as a vital green space and area of biodiversity. Please preserve the beauty of our natural environment!
as an owner of 22 acres on the greenbelt in king , i want to say if any land anywhere is removed from the greenbelt ,i too want my property removed from the green belt to be made available for housing...i am zoned rural residential and i want the density increased so i too can benefit from any chang

Please do not touch the Greenbelt boundaries for the sake of more sprawl in an already heavily urbanized area of the province. Those of us who live here love the Greenbelt for its natural landscape, as it is not comparable to man-made parks.

I am opposed to these proposed changes. We need to protect the green belt and I am concerned that developers will not be held to the required environmental protection standards. These plans will put money into wealthy developers pockets and destroy the environment.
It is important to understand the role of habitat fragmentation in all of this. If action is being made to include more land in new/expanded protexted area, it is an opportunity to incorporate research identifying the importance of untouched area around protected areas.

I am disgusted with this govts.' actions with regard to just about everything, but this is going too far. With climate change way past dealing effectively with, you would think governments would have to shape up. Better late than never!
I urge the Premier to:
- withdraw the plan to remove lands from the Greenbelt;
- get on with a meaningful Greenbelt expansion that reflects public input - repeatedly promised but never delivered by the Ford government;

This and all the other proposals relative to the Greenbelt and the Oak Ridges Moraine being redesignated and adjusted for all the big money behind all this is a disgrace on all who share that opinion. There has to be something that is engendering this conflict of interest?

I am truly devastated by the government proposals to steamroll over rich farm land and sensitive green belt habitat areas around Hamilton. Ford is turning a blind eye to all the environmental studies that have been and are being done on our lands.

This move to remove vast swaths of protected Greenbelt land for development while designating a laughably small amount to "replace" what is taken away is deceitful and abhorrent, especially to announce it while removing workers' right to protest so as to ensure the people of Ontario are adequately d

As someone who lives near the Greenbelt, and someone who is low income, I am strongly opposed to this plan. This plan is completely backwards to the direction we as a province should be moving on climate change, food security, and housing.

I like the proposal, especially the New Hospital complete with surrounding development. A large regional Hospital needs to be surrounded by support Facilities, Hotels, Housing, Retail, etc.....
Good location for a new start to an outdated facility.
Building in the Greenbelt Area to solve the housing crisis is the worst idea. We dedicated these lands as Greenbelt Area for a reason and our environment is only getting worse since the area was created about two decades ago.

In response to the proposed amendments to the Greenbelt lands, specifically those within Ajax boundaries, we would like to lend our complete support to the removal of these lands within the town proper.

Ford promised not to touch the greenbelt, nobody asked for this in fact most people asked for the exact opposite. The fact is that there is plenty of land set aside in ontarios development strategy that is available for housing to be developed it just hasn't been used.

What happened to "not touching the Greenbelt"?!???
This isn't the answer to solving the housing crisis. We want fixes within our municipality; to keep people in Toronto instead of building houses on the Greenbelt to push us out.
