I am writing about my concerns with this proposal. The greenbelt is protected land that the people of Ontario have very clearly stated over and over that it was to remain protected. There was a very clear, ON CAMERA PROMISE by Premier Ford that he would NEVER touch or develop the greenbelt.

Please don't chip away at the Greenbelt. It's very much there for a reason!
I like the possible areas to add to it but they don't compensate for the areas that are lost. It's not an equal trade.
Please, for the love of humanity, DO NOT DO THIS.
This is a giveway to developers and their lobbyists. The need for affordable housing should not be so shamelessly exploited as political cover.
Affordable housing should be addressing the 'missing middle' housing categories - low density multi-unit housing - not sponsoring more speculative sprawl.
The green belt is intended to remain intact. It is not a reserve of land to be auctioned off by politicians to gain favour. It is meant for the good of future generations. For the future of our people. Our wildlife. Our green space. Our air. Our water systems. Our mental health. Hands. Off.

The green belt is not for sale. It is not to be sold for homes. The housing issue will not be solved with these expensive and inaccessible homes. These sprawling developments taking over our precious farmland add food insecurity to our problems.

We're in a climate crisis, we cannot afford build over conservation areas. This proposal does not help with affordability and at the same time makes significant damage to our environment. Homes belong in towns and cities, not on top of farms, forests and wetlands.
I am pleading with you to not develop the greenbelt and to start building up instead of out. We need to start getting denser and not ruin more farm land.

I am horrified by the idea that any of the green belt might be developed. We should be adding to the environmentally protected land and rewilding more land to add to the green belt.
The science has been clear, we need to do MORE to protect the environment, not less. There is ample literature showing how biodiversity loss will effect our world in the future and it’s about time we approached our ambitions with some humility.

Doug Ford made a promise not to allow development in the Greenbelt as part of his election platform and I, as a voter and citizen of Ontario, expect Mr.Ford to keep his campaign promises as stated.

I am against this bill. There are many other options to build affordable housing without touching the greenbelt. These other options should be explored before considering expansion into the greenbelt. We don’t need more sprawl, with more roads, highways and the resulting traffic.
