Absolutely not. Stop destroying our ecosystems. Use vacant buildings in the area to house the homeless. We do not need mansions on the green belt for Doug and his cronies. We pay a carbon tax to help the environment and this guy gets to destroy it in one fell swoop?

Don't not build on the greenbelt
Instead use that money to convert unused offices into low income housing,
We need to create more low income housing options in Toronto
The greenbelt is protected land and does so much to help us in the fight against climate change as well as being the home to many different animals that rely on that land. We cannot afford to lose any amount of the green belt. We should only ever be proposing to add more land to the green belt.

I think it's incredibly important to protect the Greenbelt from residential housing complexes. This is protected land and should remain as such. There are other ways we can increase the housing options that don't involve stealing this land. Please don't let this happen.
Doug Ford promised he wouldn't do this and this proposal is disgraceful. We need to protect the green belt. If anything we should be increasing the protections around this land and trying to protect more of these ecosystems.

I am not interested in this at all. Please do not ruin our already half-dead ecosystem with a useless highway or more houses we already can't afford. This new highway will increase emissions and not help with current traffic. I am disgusted by this proposal.
This proposal should not proceed. There are far better ways to address the housing crisis in the province than to open development of any portion of the Green Belt.

This is a terrible idea. Toronto is currently a sprawling cement city. Don’t make it worse by developing some of the only protected green space near Toronto. This will have environment impacts for the future.

There should be no development on this land. Protecting key habitat for a large number of species is far more important than developing this area for businesses and a highway that (according to studies) will make no noticeable improvement to commute times.

Since this is the exact opposite of what Doug ford said he would do. I would like to request that he stick to his word and leave the green belt alone. Affordable housing is needed and by listening to actual professionals this can be figured out without raping our land.

The blatant disregard for the desires of constituents and past promises to never build on Greenbelt are beyond reprehensible. What about the many vacant properties in cities across the province that could be turned into AFFORDABLE housing? Perhaps this would be a more useful way for Mr.

Removal of land from the Greenbelt is completely unacceptable.
I have no issue with the addition of Greenbelt land (The Paris Galt Moraine), but no land should be removed from the Greenbelt under any circumstances.

The greenbelt is too important to Ontario's resilience to repurpose it for development. We need its ability to manage and filter water, to maintain species biodiversity, and a hundred other ecosystem services.

Please do not touch greenbelt land. Conservation of wildlife is crucial.
An alternative housing proposition would be to repurpose unoccupied office space into Toronto into aggordable housing, something of which our province is in desperate need.
I’m disappointed to hear about this initiative. The Greenbelt is valuable and irreplaceable land that should remain protected. Not only it is important for wildlife and the ecology of the area, but it’s a peaceful space for recreation.
