Unfortunately the government has yet to demonstrate how opening the greenbelt up to development will achieve the end goal of lowering housing costs for the average homeowner.

I am concerned that natural heritage is being removed from the greenbelt which could cause flooding and is in violation of international agreements to protect biodiversity.
The Ford government does not appear to be working in the best interests of the people and lands of Ontario and I’m extremely dissatisfied with their governance.

I am seriously concerned about the plan to open up portions of the Greenbelt. Prior to the election Doug Ford said it wouldn't be touched. The betrayal of that promise is shocking.

The Greenbelt was created for many good reasons and Premier Ford promised during his last term that that no one was going to touch it. There was no discussion of any change of policy during the recent election.

Removing these particular lands from the Greenbelt and using them for housing development is unacceptable for many reasons.
1. Indigenous peoples of the areas were not consulted.

I strongly oppose the proposed removal of any lands from the Greenbelt. It is unacceptable. Ontario voters have made it clear time and time again that we do not support new development on the Greenbelt.

The proposed Greenbelt boundary changes are shocking. Doug Ford promised not to alter the Greenbelt and here we are. Promises don't mean anything to Doug Ford.
Please reconsider bill 23. The people of Ontario disagree with it and it is clear the only people that will benefit from it are mr ford and his developer buddies. Corruption! Shame. This government clearly doesn’t care about its people.

Hands off the Greenbelt! Developers must pay the fees to the municipality where they are building. Responsible government MUST prioritize housing for the unhoused and low income earners, which currently is NOT happening.
I reject the rationale for the deletions proposed in this notice. The Greenbelt was intended to protect lands forever. Designations under these plans were not intended to be reclassified for the convenience of a developer. To do so greatly undermines the credibility of the province.

We cannot afford to sacrifice the greenbelt for short term gains. Not only because of the impact on municipal taxes, but because it was named green belt for very important reasons: farmers, waterways, flood prevention, protected species, and the list goes on.

This proposal should not be adopted for many reasons.
1.) There has been an absence of meaningful consultation with First Nations, as publicly admitted by Minister Clark. Proposed amendments to the Greenbelt Plan will have profound impacts on treaty lands across Ontario.

The Greenbelt is meant to be protected green space for the enjoyment of all. It was also meant to be protected in perpetuity. The Ford government has previously promised that this will not be touched.
