The greenbelt was created by law as an urban growth boundary and to protect natural resources for the health and well-being of Ontario's people. Simply under principal, the greenbelt should not be touched in anyway on the basis that law and policy I believe, have formally protected that land. Read more

I find this move appalling. We should be protecting the Green Belt at all costs, and the unchecked policies that led to urban sprawl will not lead to affordable housing - it will lead to the destruction of what decent farmland and flood mitigation we have in place so that a select few will cash in.

The Greenbelt is protected and supposed to be safe from any and all changes to it. The PC government needs to respect and honour that. Leave it alone! There are many, many reasons it was deemed protected and those reasons still exist and are even more important now than before. Read more

We cannot use our greenbelts to build housing. Period. WE build up, we build better transportation links. We find other ways. As a Canadian who returned after living abroad for 30 years, we're the only place left in the world...where there's land left. Read more

I am shocked and appalled at this plan given the government’s previous commitment not to touch the greenbelt. As a young Ontarian, I realize that housing is needed by many of my peers but what’s needed is not sprawl and single family homes but transit adjacent dense housing.

I am extremely concerned about the proposed changes to the green belt protections. In an era of climate change and food insecurity, I think it is incredibly irresponsible of our provincial government to be promoting urban sprawl and congestion. Read more

This government is trampling the rights and needs of the people in favour of lining its pockets with developer money. The greenbelt not only ensures the current generation has access to land and fresh water but also future generations who will feel the effects of climate change more acutely.
