On Tuesday evening, November 15, 2022, the new Council of the Town of Perth for the 2022-2026 term was sworn in. As part of the agenda that evening, our staff reviewed with Council the policies proposed in Bill 23.

This is nothing more than a land grab by greedy developers, that are likely good friends with Mr. Ford, or are at least big financial donors to the Conservative party in Ontario.

I fear that the More Home Built Faster plan will cause more problems than it solves. The Greenbelt needs to be protected. Allowing some building on Greenbelt land now will make it possible to further erode its protection in the future.

I'd like to register my strong disagreement with these changes, particularly:
- limits to third party appeals
- limits to CA reviews
- restrictions on development charges

Please reconsider passing this bill as it will have a negative impact on our community. There must be a better way to cut through the red tape other than short cutting the process.
This proposal is a breach of trust, as it goes back on the promise the Ontario Government made to preserve the green belt around the greater Toronto area
In addition, the development proposed will only add to urban sprawl, creating a need for new commercial services, schools, highways and more.

I do not feel satisfied with the level of environmental impact study that has been conducted or communicated regarding the plan to remove certain portions of the Greenbelt and add in others.

Hi I have heard about the Greenbelt but just recently I was more interested, I don’t think there’s a need to build more housing, why is there a need to take a part of the greenbelt when is was said it wouldn’t be touched , this is why I don’t trust our government , we need our green space for homes

This bill cuts $73 million from emergency shelters, $230 million in development charges, largely earmarked for affordable housing, and will convert affordable apartments into luxury condos.

Doug Ford, please stop destroying the greenbelt and other protected areas! I have been a resident of Vaughan for over 40 years and I never thought that we would have to fight to preserve protected areas.

This would be an unwanted intrusion into the municipal capacity to reflect the wishes and desires of local citizenry. It is an undemocratic power grab. It will also end up costing Toronto and other municipalities enormous amounts of money that they need to operate.

How can the government reconcile ties to the Premier and developers in the Greenbelt with the timing of this legislation? Seems corrupt and a major conflict of interest. I oppose this Bill!
I strongly oppose the Proposed Planning Act and City of Toronto Act Changes (Schedules 9 and 1 of Bill 23 - the proposed More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022). I am hearing about people /companies buying parts of the greenbelt before doug ford stated he wanted to open it for development.

Financially and environmentally, ample research has shown that the sprawl-oriented development represented by Bill 23 is catastrophic. These consequences are also unnecessary.

Not sure what I think don’t agree with all of it. My municipality has lied to me several times on land severance I don’t think they should do that they should tell the truth.
