No part of the Green Belt should be used to build new homes on. It should be UNTOUCHABLE for development. There are 78 species at risk that live there and ecological diversity that needs to be protected.

Development in the green belt goes against all climate change commitments and will set us back on disaster resilience and climate change targets. Wetlands and forests provide vital ecosystem services, including carbon sequestration, cooling services, and flood mitigation.

Turning the greenbelt into housing is a terrible idea. We need to expand high density housing where it already exists supported by we'll funded fast, reliable public transit systems.

Do not proceed with this. You are making a mistake. You can't just take land away and arbitrarily assign new land to become part of the green belt. The larger picture of the whole landmass has to be considered to make sure environemental migration patterns and flow of water etc.

The government should be focused on increasing residential density, supported by improved public transportation infrastructure and access to services, rather than worsening urban sprawl while destroying high-quality farmland, a non-renewable resource, in the process.
I do not support the proposed amendments to the Greenbelt Plan. The proposed amendments should be reconsidered. The proposed changes run contrary to the very purpose of the Greenbelt to prevent further loss of farmland and natural heritage, and restrict urban sprawl.

This violates the integrity of the greenbelt lands. Further, it would set a precedent for switching out other parcels of greenbelt land to developers with a bottom-line focus.

This plan is harmful in so many ways.
Please reconsider destroying important land for housing developments when the focus should be on protecting the land that we have left and making already built homes and apartments more affordable!

We aren't stupid, we know this is all to line the pockets of your developer buddies. You can make high density housing without destroying farmlands and habitats, but that doesn't give money to your friends, does it?

I am fully against any degradation of existing Greenbelt land.
The government has not done enough to show how much of the proposed additions in this land swap aren't already protected through other mechanisms. How much of the 9,400 acres are new and previously unprotected?

I am against any changes to the greenbelt lands as currently designated. This issue is simply one of being lied to. Premier Ford promised not to touch the greenbelt lands in 2018.

It's not clear to me why the Greenbelt lands should be used for this purpose. Evidence seems overwhelming that we need more green space, more trees, and more biodiversity to be healthy.

This is a horrible plan by the ford goverment. It doesnt making housing any more affordable for young people! It solves no housing issues. We also need as much green space as possible to combat climate change and if we build housing here were only making things worse for the planet.

Green belt lands are necessary to keep the natural landscape as well as preserve Canadian wilderness. We should not be developing on these lands at all.
This is against the promises made by the Ford government upon reelection. This is unethical and devastating for my generation's future. As a millennial/Gen z, I beg of you not to do this to us. It will effect our future and our kids future.

We need to be able to feed all the people that are coming into the country. Building homes on 1900 acres of prime farm land does not help that. On top of the massive environmental damage it will do to our provice. This is a terrible idea and never should have been proposed in the first place.
