I oppose plans to remove lands from the Greenbelt. I am devasted that Premier Ford went back on his promise that his government wouldn’t touch the Greenbelt. Please understand the importance of our protected Greenbelt lands.

I thought that this land was legally protected greenspace, to protect plants and wildlife. This proposal will also affect fresh water supply and food production. I’m still shocked that any party can just rewrite laws without consulting the public. The Ford government is out of control.

There is absolutely no need to open more green belt to acheive goals of more affordable housing. The developers are the only ones to profit from this. Something fishy why they bought land in green belt.
Cancel Bill 23! Our cities are full of undeveloped, underdeveloped, and neglected lands that are ripe for development for medium-density and high-density housing. We could build great cities if we planned and developed great neighbourhoods.

Hello,
I am absolutely against development of the Greenbelt in any way. I would also like the Conservative Government investigated on their connection to private interests involved in the development plans as discussed in the below news articles.

I object to the opening of the protected Greenbelt areas. We need the green spaces and that’s why they were protected in the first place. Any development there will affect the watersheds and wetlands. This will affect the rivers they feed into along with any plants and animals which live there.

Hello, I am a resident of Durham Region in a community that will be directly affected by this egregious decision to dismantle our protected environmental areas.

I'm personally not in favour of re-designating the Greenbelt for developmental purposes. From what I understand, the government is suggesting that the Greenbelt be developed to accommodate for population growth in the Golden Horseshoe area.

I am feeling sick in my stomach imagining the Greenbelt being dug up and cement poured on top. PLEASE, not there, not now. We KNOW how important this and every other wetland is. We work hard to ensure an invasive species like phragmites doesn’t destroy delicate ecosystems.

I am extremely disappointed and upset. The whole process to this point has shown itself to be rash, arbitrary, and lacking in any meaningful consultation. It is generally acknowledged that the housing "crisis" can be addressed without any need to bring the Greenbelt into the conversation.

From Professor Dawn Parker regarding the pitfalls of this plan, of which there are many and ultimately it should be either heavily corrected for scrapped all together:
