This proposal should not be approved. The greenbelt is an area that needs to be protected from development. It is an important part of are ecosystem and providing clean drinking water.
Please do not develop this area. Protect this area for our children and their future.
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.

The Greenbelt is one of the most important and I would argue, well known environmental regulation in Ontario. Ontarians hold pride in the strict regulations provided by the Greenbelt legistalation protecting environmentally sensitive regions.

I, like many others, am appalled at the proposed "changes" to the Greenbelt area. Wetlands cannot simply be torn down and relocated to another area, and it is completely dishonest to pretend otherwise.

Greenbelt areas, especially those under consideration for removal from the plan are of great value to the communities near them. Providing flood protection, clean air, and greatly improve mental health.

This is ridiculous. The Greenbelt is protected for a very good reason. We need it. Destroying the environmental integrity of the Greenbelt for profit is absolute greed on behalf of Doug Ford and the Conservative party. Disgusting and shameful.
Please leave the Greenbelt alone. We don't want picket fences. We want viable futures. Destroying this significant, irreplaceable land destroys that possibility. Please leave the Greenbelt alone, like you promised 4 years ago.
I highly oppose this proposal. Wetlands are critical to our climate change initiatives, ecological and biodiversity preservation, and personal safety. These lands are protected and should remain as such for the mutual benefit of all Ontarians, Canadian, and humanity.

While I recognize that more housing is required across the Greater Toronto Area in order to address the ongoing housing crisis, I am not in favour of destroying greenbelt land for this need.

As someone who has lived in the GTA for a majority of their life, I can say that it is an extremely poorly planned area. Lost of waste of natural resources and natural landscapes.

I believe this proposed amendment is not appropriate for the people of Ontario and does not fully adhere to the purpose of the Greenbelt Plan or its supporting documentation.

We are heading in a dangerous direction if we continue to toy with ideas like this. Between climate change and existing developments, we are already running out of usable farmland in the area the greenbelt protects.

I do not approve of the changes made to the boarders of the greenbelt. Other avenues should be more highly recommended.
Save our green space. Save our planet
Protecting the Greenbelt in it's entirety is critical with the current state of global warming and food insecurity. The Greenbelt provides 177,700 full time jobs and $9,600,000,000 of economic impact every year!

The given reason for this is to make housing for hundreds of thousands of people coming to Canada. This is laughable, considering the houses will be high-value, low density R1 zone lots designed to pad developers pockets and do little towards giving people places to live.
