I’m appalled at the blatant deceitfulness and corruption that went into this amendment. Doug promised that he would unequivocally not open up the Greenbelt to development but then he does this mere months after his buddies buy the land under huge interest requirements.

Bill 23 is an outrageous Bill, that threatens our democracy. Essentially, it gags our Conservation Authorities and takes away the peoples voice for appeals. How can this possibly be allowed to happen?

I live in Halton Region. I am against Bill 23. I have read a range of views on this subject and I believe this proposal will lead to long-term damage to our environment, our climate, our democratic society and our economy, leading to a poorer quality of life for us all.

Please do not open the Greenbelt. At the precipice of climate collapse, this is the very last thing we should be doing. There are better ways to mitigate the housing crisis.

I am here to say I do not whatsoever support this Bill. It is unfortunate that we even have to be fighting for something like this. Leave green, green.
I am vehemently opposed to the development of the existing Greenbelt lands. I am also opposed to removing any lands from Greenbelt protection in order to then develop them. There are large amounts of other land that is available for housing without encroaching on the currently protected Greenbelt.

I am highly against any development of the greenbelt. We need to be doing more to protect our green spaces and biodiverse habitats, not taking 10 steps back.
I am forever against developing the greenbelt.
I am strongly opposed to the proposed changes to the Greenbelt Plan. The removal of lands from the Greenbelt will NOT address issues of housing supply and affordability.

Without infrastructure adding more houses will overload sewer/water mains, cause major impacts on traffic and public transportation. Bill 23 removed developer fees which pay for things like this and offloaded it onto municipalities.

We need farms, farmland, green space, watershed basins. Prioritizing profit for a small few over the ecosystem and collective good will lead to devastating consequences. The next generations have to deal with this destructive. leave the green belt alone, protected.
This is an absolutely irresponsible amendment. There is absolutely no justification for it. Build high density housing in urban areas where there is already existing infrastructure and transit available. Research and real life evidence supports this approach.
