I’m opposed to the proposed amendments to the greenbelt for several reasons. 1. The Greenbelt holds some of the most fertile soil. Once we lose that topsoil it is very difficult to build it back 2. It will cause the Destruction of significant wetlands 3. It will effect water quantity/quality 4. Read more

I vigorously oppose the removal from the Greenbelt of 15 areas of land totalling over 7000 acres. This is a broken promise not to touch the Greenbelt system.

I find this decision to be is short sighted and irresponsible. Green belt in Durham region protects the land and prevent flooding, etc so I’m outraged that thi government is releasing parts of the greenbelt for development.

I strongly oppose the decision to make amendments to the Greenbelt Plan as it currently stands.

The promise in the last election to leave the Greenbelt alone, was obviously an election promise only. If Ford is a man of his word, he needs to come up with another solution to bring AFFORDABLE housing, to this province. Farm lands need to be protected as well. Read more

This bill is shortsighted, destructive, and a mistake. The fact that a (select) few benefit while the rest of us bear the cost is more than upsetting. This negatively affects so many people: municipalities, the middle and working classes, Indigenous peoples... Read more

I am extremely concerned about Doug Ford revoking his promises to not touch The Greenbelt. It was established for many reasons, including flood mitigation, preservation of drinking water for the GTA and protection of critical habitat for many species at risk. Read more

Please explain how Bill 23 is being introduced when we were provided assurances on numerous occasions by Doug Ford's government that the Greenbelt and Oro Moraine would be preserved for future generations. I cannot vote for a party that does not fulfill its promises. Read more
