I am completed against Bill 23. Ford stated he would not touch the Greenbelt and that needs to be honoured. If we care about the future another housing plan needs to be created that doesn’t infringe on the Greenbelt. Ecologically diverse and fertile lands need to be protected.
First, there is plenty of room for housing outside of the Greenbelt. There is no need to "re-jig" the Greenbelt boundaries for the purpose of building homes.

I do not support the modification of the Greenbelt as outlined in this plan due to concern for habitat loss and urban sprawl. Housing solutions to population increase should rather aim to introduce gentle density to already populated areas in suburbs and urban settings.
This will not create affordable housing, the costs will be downloaded to tax payers, the destruction of the green belt is unconscionable, and the environmental disasters from paving it are completely preventable by leaving it alone. Please do not do this.
I am so oppressed to this proposal. The Greenbelt is an established protection zone for people today, future generations, wildlife and nature -- not developers. People need homes, but they should be constructed elsewhere.

We need farmland and protected green space. Our food needs to be local. Our kids need to have clean air.
I appreciate the need to address housing but you can do so by thinking innovatively and look at new sustainable housing models rather than trashing our environment.

1. In the face of unprecedented and accelerating biodiversity loss and the ever-worsening climate crisis, it is vital for the well-being of all Ontarians that your government do its utmost to protect the farmland, wetlands, forests, rivers and other natural areas that sustain us.

Please save our green space. You said you wouldn’t touch it and now you are. People who voted for you expect you to have integrity and keep your word.

Any changes to the boundaries in the Greenbelt should not be considered until Conservation Authority powers have been fully restored. Conservation Authorities are not a barrier to growth -- 'Conservation Authorities Act' requires timely reviews. Municipalities need to have expertise of C.A.'s to e

It is essential to preserve our natural areas such as wetlands, forests and rivers to preserve biodiversity. By doing so we can take a step in protecting our environment, the air we breathe and the farmlands that ultimately feed us.

We should not expand on the green belt. We need to protect the biodiversity, and natural spaces we still have left in Ontario. Do not develop on this land.
This is a travesty. This land should be set aside and preserved forever. The proposed low density developments are inefficient and against all recommendations of thoughtful urban experts.
This MUST not be permitted.
I strongly oppose the proposal for several reasons:
- the greenbelt constraint on urban land zoning is an important constraint that incentivizes thoughtful and purposeful land use in the GTA, and is necessary to combat the problem of urban sprawl
