This will be a disaster for the environment, and will not solve the housing crisis. Your proposal will destroy extremely valuable wetlands that we CANNOT replace in order to fund developers.

Please don't develop these protected animals. We need green spaces, animals need it, healthy air and water needs it. It was protected for a reason. Lose 7500 acres but gain 2000, that's a massive loss and will devestate the ecosystem.

I completely disagree with distorting the green belt. It will bring more pollution and cause many problems at GTA.
What does this government thinks? To attract more people to the GTA? Do you think GTA needs more people??

Hi there - I voted Conservative in the last election because I believe it is important that Ontario has sound and sustainable fiscal policy and because Doug Ford has said he would not destroy the Green Belt. This proposal is extremely disappointing. As a supporter, I feel lied to.

We need to protect the greenbelt. We should be looking for ways to add infil housing in areas that already have exsiting access to city services. Climate change is a real issue and building 1000s of houses in previously protected greenbelt areas is only going to make it worse.

Hamilton has already said no to this. Remember when Doug Ford tried to give the police extra stopping powers and it didn't work? Remember when you tried to force members of CUPE back to work with fines that didn't work?
What do you think is going to happen now, we will just stand by idly?

This is not only against the gobement's promise, but goes against what scientific data shows will damage vital food, water sources for years to come. It is a short sighted plan, with long term consequences. There are many other options to create housing.

The Garner road lands in Ancaster should never have been part of the Greenbelt. The land is fields which have never really been utilized for anything. Developing it would be a natural extension of where new homes should be built.

I strongly oppose using Greenbelt land for new housing. Ontario has lots of land that is not Greenbelt that can be used to build new houses. Please stop the developers from paving over paradise.
The proposal is lacking information on the specific properties/characteristics of the identified areas that may support them being removed from the Greenbelt. Further there are no specifics on the value of the propsed added lands to the Greenbelt.

The decision to build homes on the Greenbelt in Hamilton is absolutely ludicrous.
What are ‘you people’ thinking? The world as a whole is already burning up and melting with climate change, you will be exacerbating it even more. What about our farmers? Where do you plan to get your food?

This is yet another example of the conservatives stripping away something of value from their constituents for short term gain. The negative effects of this will be long lasting. If we continue at this pace, there will be nothing left for our children.

We don't want this expansion because we haven't got a sewage plant that will handle it and our environment is burning up. We have to many people now, we need less people ,housing, and cars, we don't have anymore room on our Hy-ways now., we are crowding ourselves out. Stop immigration.

Taken from MAH's website: "Ontario’s Greenbelt protects farmland, communities, forests, wetlands and watersheds. It also preserves cultural heritage and supports recreation and tourism in Ontario’s Greater Golden Horseshoe."

We need to save our agricultural land immediately. We cannot continue to sprawl outside of our Urban boundaries when there are many areas within the boundary to build affordable housing vertically on first. All agricultural land must be saved for farming, livestock and feeding the population.
