I am opposed to these amendments. We need to work harder to protect the Ontario Greenbelt, not to strip away from it. Please put forward more innovative ideas instead of overriding the safeguards surrounding protected lands. Once changes like these start, they snowball until nothing is left.

As a Hamilton resident I am opposed to the lazy, short-sighted, and destructive option of opening development of our precious Greenbelt. Build up inside the urban area. Stop the sprawl!
The proposed uses of the Greenbelt will hurt farmers and negatively impact local produce as well as dramatically dent Canada's access to nature.

I completely oppose destroying any of the Greenbelt to allow development. The current housing problem can be solved by increasing density in areas ALREADY populated and therefore, 'lost to nature'. We cannot afford to hasten the destruction of the natural environment. Not one bit.

I am completely opposed to these proposed amendments. Premier Ford previously promised that he would not touch the Green Belt. The Green Belt is a crucial ecological bulwark for our province.

The Greenbelt needs to stay protected land. Guarding the habitats and maintaining biodiversity is a must in this day and age. Everyday at work we read the land acknowledgement and talk about The Dish With One Spoon Treaty; we are all responsible for using the land in a sustainable way.

PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW THIS MANIAC TO DESTROY OUR GREENBELT.
PLEASE, SOMEONE NEEDS TO STOP AND REALLY SEE HOW THIS WILL BE DETRIMENTAL.
PLEASE LISTEN TO US !!
I don’t believe we should be touching the green belt. Doug ford said he would never touch this land… fast forward now he is.
This should not be allowed. Find other was to establish homes.. homes in the price range average Canadians can afford.

This is one of the worst ideas I have ever heard. This should not be acceptable. There is a reason this land is protected. If the rules are broken once then they will be broken again and again until all the land is used.

The Greenbelt is home to native plants and animals and cannot be replaced.
We don't need more mansions. Try converting deserted buildings into affordable housing before destroying our environment.
Please do not use our priceless green belt land to build houses upon. There are much better housing models that encourage density over sprawl we should be considering rather than sacrifice important protected nature landscapes, wetlands, and habitats.

Not one inch of the Greenbelt should be touched. Ford admitted on camera fully acknowledging that the people do not want the Greenbelt developed. He is completely ignoring this. He is showing corruption within his govt and himself.

As a vet tech who works with local animals who have already been put out of their homes by the current sprawl.
It absolutely haunts me to think of touching their only protected lands.

Do not destroy the greenbelt. We do not need more urban development. We do, however, need protected natural spaces to SURVIVE. We depend on the earth, let’s not destroy it any further.
I am absolutely against this proposal - do not touch the Greenbelt. It is protected land for a reason and it cannot be replaced. We should not be destroying the forests, displacing the fauna, and causing more damage to our environment.

I urge the Premier to:
1) withdraw the plan to remove lands from the Greenbelt;
2) get on with a meaningful Greenbelt expansion that reflects public input - repeatedly promised but never delivered by the Ford government;

Please do NOT develop the Greenbelt! This is a one-way ticket. Once that land is destroyed we can never get it back. Is this what you want your legacy to be? That the Ford government destroyed our valuable ecosystem for short -term gain?

Instead of bulldozing over our wilderness and putting dozens of animals out of a home how about we repurpose empty office buildings in Toronto and we turn them in high density low income housing. If you tried to build over/on the greenbelt it would just flood.

There is a good reason why these lands are being protected. Taking away this greenbelt area, only to add another one, doesn't make sense. It makes sense if you want to provide contracts to specific builders within this area, which is uncalled for.

I feel using empty office space inside Toronto would be a better solution to our housing crisis then opening up and ruining our greenbelt and causing more enviromental damage. We don't need more mansions built and we do not need the new highway at all.
