My ONLY suggestion is if you are really serious about growing and protecting our Greenbelt than STOP allowing MZO orders to be used to destroy these areas. I can't believe this consultation is even being done.

-allow municipalities to set their own development plans, including not expanding urban boundaries
-stop the creation of new 400 series highways

My neighborhood has changed from single family housing to two or 3 suites per lot. I am not complaining because we realize how important it is to preserve farmland and keep development away from Lake Simcoe. Please stop the new highway and development around the lake.

The Greenbelt must be protected as is, not encroached upon by developments or housing, it needs to be expand d and protected by environmentalists. Expand it. Do not build on it.

• sustain local ecosystems and biodiversity; and
• optimize resilience to climate change impacts such as flooding and drought.

This is nothing but a smokescreen to hide the fact that you actually want to pave over a fiat section of the green belt with a highway to nowhere. Ontarians want the green belt protected not assaulted. Doug Ford promised he would NOT develop on the green belt.
