The Oak Ridges Moraine is critical to the protection of our watersheds and our natural environment. This is a huge step back and backpedalling on the Ford government's promises to not touch the Greenbelt. We should not be removing parts of the Greenbelt area in order to meet housing demand.

We have protected this land for many generations of Ontarians. It is heartbreaking to think that all of that care for our land can be undone by one government.

I, a Canadian Citizen and resident of Ontario, would like to enter into record that I am vehemently opposed to these potential amendments.
While I acknowledge the housing crisis is of utmost importance I emplore the government to look for solutions elsewhere.

I oppose this proposal. This idea of opening up 7,400 acres of the greenbelt is unconscionable. The Greenbelt is supposed to be protected forever. CONSERVED. There is land elsewhere to build on.

Why is it thought that you can simply "swap" lands between the greenbelt area and elsewhere? Shouldn't we be aiming to maintain every bit of natural area that we still have remaining? I understand that we have a housing shortage but sprawling housing developments is what got us into this mess.

I am appalled by this proposal. For my entire life I have lived next to the Oak Ridges Moraine and have been told since childhood how important it is to preserve the Moraine.

I do not support adding residential or commercial spaces to the greenbelt, this bill will destroy the certainty of permanent protection that is vital to the functioning of the Greenbelt as a whole.
I urge the Premier to:
- withdraw the plan to remove lands from the Greenbelt;
- get on with a meaningful Greenbelt expansion that reflects public input - repeatedly promised but never delivered by the Ford government;

I do not wish to see our green space that has protected designation be gutted by changing it’s status. We need our waterways, animals and the land this area houses. Please help to keep it safe from development.

there is plenty of land set aside in ontarios development strategy that is available for housing to be developed it just hasn't been used. We don't need to open up more land from areas we have deemed as important to maintain for agriculture, Green space, and to limit urban sprawl.

This proposal threatens environmental protection efforts across ontario and the adjacent watersheds. The housing crisis is not an acceptable reason to endanger local ecology for land development.

I am very dismayed that Doug Ford’s conservatives are once again demonstrating their disregard for the environmental health of this province and by extension the health and well-being of the people of Ontario.

This proposal plans to remove lands from the Greenbelt Area that are currently protected. The fact that they could be suitable for residential development in the near term doesn't change the fact that they were protected for very good reasons.
