This is an abuse of power ... it is not solving the problem that you are pretending to address. You are destroying habitat, the ecosystem, our heritage, and you are creating nothing from it except massive tracts of housing that still the people who need housing cannot afford.

I would like to express my concerns about Bill 23. I support the objections to the Bill put forward by the City of Toronto and the Bruce Trail Conservancy.

Throughout sustainability, Bill 23 is not an effective representative of our country. It is vital that wetlands are protected through economic development and growth. Not only will economic development be affected but housing and climate change will be unfairly implemented as well.

I am extremely concerned about Bill 23. While I absolutely agree that more homes are needed, I believe this bill will cause as many problems as it purports to want to solve. It will worsen climate change by destroying carbon sinks like forests, wetlands and grasslands.

I am deeply saddened by this proposal. We moved to Northumberland County because of the beautiful rolling hills and the spectacular heritage homes. To replace these with new builds would destroy the charm of this unique and special place.
The end does not justify the means outlined in this proposal. The changes proposed in this document are apparent in their goals, which are to facilitate the development of a greater supply of housing, and to concentrate power in order to do so.

I am a property owner and resident of Saugeen Shores/Southampton and a member of the Bruce Trail Conservancy. I strongly object to Bill 23 and it’s failure to protect the greenbelt from development and to protect our heritage buildings from demolition.

I don't know a great deal about Heritage in Ontario but I do understand a few things that Bill 23 may unintentionally harm in its rush to force municipalities to "designate or un-list." Tourism in Ontario and the economic benefits it bring to (especially smaller communities) will be harmed by this b

Stop this bill at all costs. Protect the green belt. Housing intensification in GTA but not i. The green belt. The green belt is our common heritage and all we have left.
I am deeply saddened by bill 23. Why are we selling off protected greenspace and heritage land? It's detrimental to the country as a whole. How can we be independent as a country if we can no longer farm our own food? Or if we have flooding due to the lack of forests?
