While I agree that protecting the Galt Paris Moraine area is wise in terms of protecting the ground water source, there is an issue of fairness. Property rights that owners of those properties enjoy today will no longer be available to them once the boundaries are changed.

It is with deep disappointment that I register a comment on this proposal.
First off though the addition of the Paris Galt Moraine to the projected greenbelt should have been done years ago. This must proceed.

Not quite sure why there are three ERO entries, but we should not be removing 7400 acres fron the existing greenbelt. It wont help, and will lessen our water quality, biodiversity, our farm land. So no we shouldnt remove 7400 acres from greenbelt for a bunch of developers,
First, let's get the elephant out of the room - this government promised last year to expand the Greenbelt and in Minister Steve Clark's words "We’re not going to entertain any conversations about a land swap" and "Our government will not consider any proposals to remove or develop any part of it".

I am against any proposals that will either reduce or remove green belt areas to accommodate new home development. It will impact wildlife, water supply all for the developers to make millions of dollars. Keep our green belts as is!!
This proposal goes against the Government's promise to not touch protected the GTHA's Greenbelt lands. This change will set precedent for future requests to develop on the Greenbelt and depreciates its value.

The removal of any land from the greenbelt for urban sprawl defeats the purpose of the green belt. This proposal is a way of opening up areas for development to make billions for the wealthy and is disturbing to the core.

The greenbelt must be protected from greedy developers!
Houses built on wetlands generally sink eventually, so it is in everyone's best interest to protect these vulnerable lands for everyones sale
I cannot overstate how strongly I disapprove of the plan to expand housing into any part of the Greenbelt. Doug Ford himself promised in 2018 to protect it, and Housing Minister Steve Clark of the PC Party made similar statements just last year.

I am a young person, Registered Professional Planner, homeowner and helped vote in this government. Premier Ford said in 2018 that he would not touch the greenbelt. This plan sets a terrible precedent and is shortsighted.

Do not do this. all existing lands within the Green Belt are critical. That's why they were originally included in the Green Belt. "Exchanging" other land for land taken out of the Green Belt will lessen the quality of protected land. eliminate wild life corridors and damage wetlands.
I am opposed to the removal of any lands from the Greenbelt. The Greenbelt was created as a permanent space that would never be developed. To open it up now invites later attempts to remove still more lands. It encourages speculation and drives up farm land prices.

This should not be approved. The Greenbelt Plan was enacted to provide the following benefits to everyone living in Southern Ontario:
It contains many of Canada’s most ecologically and hydrologically significant natural environments. These natural areas do the following for us:
- clean the air

This is not the solution to the housing crisis. It’s the cost of rentals and purchasing that needs to be addressed, not building on farm lands and in the Greenbelt!

Removing land from the Greenbelt is a dangerous and shortsighted move. It makes the GTA more vulnerable to flooding as well as encouraging car dependent sprawl. This sprawl worsens the climate emergency and creates inefficient suburbs.
