Please please please don’t the destroy the home of wildlife, trees, fauna. It’s our responsibility to preserve Ontario for our children and their children. Throwing it away so fleeting profit is heartbreaking. It’s humanity at its worst.
The greenbelt is an essential part of our ecosystem. We are already decimated nature and we are putting ahead economic interests instead of everyone's well-being. Opening up the green belt will not fix existing problems, it will only create others to the benefit of a few.

I strongly object to using established green space for housing. I also object to relieving developers of their responsibility to cover infrastructure expenses by passing those expenses on to existing tax payers.
Paving over the Greenbelt will have flood insurance effects for more than the rubes who buy houses on land that's normally marsh. One of the many important things the Greenbelt does is it retains water, slowing it down from reaching places downstream.

The Greenbelt as it currently exists, is an environmentally sensitive biodiverse area and needs to be protected, if not expanded. The areas that are under consideration for development are precious to the environment.

Dear Premier Ford,
Four years ago, your plans to carve up the Greenbelt had to be scrapped in the face of overwhelming public opposition.
At that time, you said: “The people have spoken. We won’t touch the Greenbelt. That’s it.”

Please do not continue to allow the destruction of the green belt to satisfy developers.
There is enough developed land already where increasing population density to build additional housing can occur.
Once the greenbelt is developed it can never be undeveloped.
The Greenbelt is an extremely important diverse ecosystem. Allowing this proposal to move forward would begin the breakdown of the sanctity of the Greenbelt. It would allow others to slowly creep in on the land and open the door to exceptions until there is no more Greenbelt.

Proposed Plans to expand into Greenbelt and farmlands is not the best solution to achieve housing needs. Plus, it is not the best cost-effective solution, by expanding costly infrastructure.

This is a deeply offensive and environmentally destructive plan that should betrays everyone who lives in Ontario that isn't a real estate developer. These are public lands that we share. This plan should not go forward.
The proposed removal should not be allowed as there is a detrimental effect to the environment and will only benefit a few people. There is no commitment to build sustainable high density and affordable housing.
The proposed amendments to the Greenbelt plan are a disastrous triumph of greed over the shared common need for a healthy environment where biodiversity in plants and animals are prioritized as necessary alongside clean air and water for our health and continued existence.

The land proposed to be removed from the Greenbelt as a consequence of Bill 23 is among the most expensive land in Southern Ontario in terms of cost per acre.

I'm very concerned that this amendment hasn't been thought through for the bigger long term impacts this will have on food security, water quality, heat island effect and biodiversity in this province.
