Thank you for the opportunity to voice my opinion.
I understand that some existing greenbelt areas may not be useful currently and could be developed without major or even minor environmental impacts, but....
My concerns/questions with this are:

I am completely against the use of Greenbelt land to be developed for housing. The problem of housing will not be solved by destroying sensitive lands, the problem will be solved by having affordable housing available for everyone. There is land that is not sensitive that can be easily developed.

I urge the Premier and the Conservative government to not touch the greenbelt.
Premier Ford is on the record stating unequivocally that he promised to not touch the greenbelt. Keep your word.

Removing the greenbelt would be an ecological disaster. The lack of foresight shown by this Bill is shocking. History itself proves why preserving these lands are necessary (Hurricane Hazel comes to mind). We need to preserve these lands, not foster greed.
The Provincial Government of Ontario set up this "greenbelt" to stop urban spread! Lets start with GIGANTIC surface parking lots that cover 20 hectares of land for every mall. build parking garages as they do in cities like Vancouver.

We need this green space for air, water, natural wildlife!! There have been so many coyote attacks in Burlington already because they have no where to live! Why are taking more space from them and other wildlife! We need air, plants, water and wildlife in the food chain!! Preserve this!

The lack of consultation with our community is profound!
We feel that the democratic process is being totally undermined and we object strenuously. The parameters of the greenbelt as it stands must be honoured.
We will see you at the ballot box next election.
I am writing to express my vehement opposition to the new Bill 23 and the long-term, negative impact this regressive bill will have on Ontario's Greenbelt, wetlands, farmland, sustainable building standards, and the increased financial burden it will ultimately place on taxpayers.

The time has come to put a STop to Mr. Ford and make sure every piece of land does not turn into a slab of concrete and there is NO LAND GRASS OR TREEES ANY WHERE IN ONTARIO.

The action that the Conservatives are taking is totally at odds with what was presented / promised re. the greenbelt. There is no compelling reason for continued sprawl with the GTA - develop within the urban areas that already exist and have supporting infrastructure.

I strongly oppose Bill 23 and the development of Ontario's current Greenbelt. Doug Ford promised not to develop it, and he needs to keep that promise. Those lands need to be protected for so many reasons, and they are so valuable. This is a political move, but the damage will be everlasting.

I oppose any destruction of the Greenbelt and believe this "development" will not help our housing crisis. The Ford government and the developers who are set to profit from this should be investigated for collusion.

This is an extremely “stupid” move by a governmental organization In a Canada where our climate is warming up more quickly than our southern cousins and we are going to have difficulty feeding ourselves because productive quality soil has been contaminated or built upon.

The Ford government is proposing using up 7500 sq acres of Greenbelt space for urban development in light of the housing crisis Ontarian now face. Yes the cost of labour and raw materials are all up due to runaway inflation but as a percentage, still less than the price of developed land.
