Greenbelt areas should be protected and not be reduced in size. Do citizens need to constantly echo concerns about climate change and environmental protection? Housing solutions exist without compromising greenbelt lands.

I am highly opposed the to redevelopment of the Greenbelt. This put precious ecosystems into jeopardy, furthers us from our climate objectives & does not fix our housing crisis. This should be dismissed as a viable solution.
No lands should be removed from the Greenbelt. Adding land would be beneficial. Healthy green space is more important than reduced developer costs. The point of greenbelts is to reduce urban expansion and encourage infill, thus protecting natural and agricultural areas.
YES I agree with this decision with the green belt to make housing on land not being used. this is simple, make Hamilton great again. more housing, more business's. the business pays more taxes then homeowners, Hamilton has always been slow. look at Hamilton ,then look at London, ont.

I vehemently oppose using fertile Greenbelt land for development. You are ignoring Ford’s promise to not touch the Belt, you’re ignoring climate change and you’re raping the city of tax dollars needed for schools, health care and LTC, all failures of this government.
Shame, shame, shame.

I see no reason why developers AND the Ford Government refuse to see the benefits in encouraging development within the current Hamilton boundary as a means of making full use of the existing infrastructure, encouraging greater use of mass transit, and above all taking climate change into account.

This is a terrible idea, we need to protect more of the green belt from development, not allow for homes to be built upon it. We need housing solutions that don’t undermine our environment. We aren’t doing enough to protect these environmentally important and sensitive lands.

These areas in the Greenbelt need to be protected, period. The Greenbelt contributes, at the very least, to flood prevention, carbon capture, and biodiversity. These benefits far surpass the financial benefits to developers.

These proposed amendments to the Greenbelt Area boundary regulation is a gross overreach by the Provincial Government. I am beyond disappointed that this has been “proposed” and completely bypasses the municipal decision making level.

As a Hamilton resident I need to voice my absolute disapproval for this proposal. It scarifies our future by destroying wildlife habit and biodiversity for short term game.

I was very dismayed to see the government go back on their words published last year in the Toronto Star where Minister Steve Clark stated that the government was "not going to entertain any conversations about a land swap" in regards to Ontario's Greenbelt.

Keep your word and DO NOT TOUCH THE GREENBELT. The need for more housing is a very real one, but 100 years of sub-urban sprawl has proven to be an ineffectual method of urbanization. It has detrimental impacts on the environment beyond the acute damage to the greenbelt.

I will never understand why "new" land has to be targeted for new housing. There is so much urban decay in sections of any city that can be renewed and transformed instead of using up precious green areas.

I am a resident of Mississauga Ontario. I am 100% opposed to the government's plan regarding Proposed amendments to the Greenbelt Area boundary regulation.

The residents of Hamilton voted against this, the city of Hamilton voted against this, Doug Ford campaigned against this. And we can now see he lied. This is an affront to democracy and and an embarrassment to our province.
Hands off the Greenbelt! What is the point of even having a Greebelt if you can carve it up - this early in its formation - when it is politically desired? The whole point of the Greenbelt is to adapt our planned growth around this fixed boundary.
