Please do not do this. It was already promised that this wouldn’t happen. I would suggest using these funds and time to build housing for low income or repurposing vacant abandoned buildings in or around the Niagara region that is desperately needed for low income housing

Paving over watersheds and wetlands is not the answer to any housing crisis. Especially if you want those houses and the surrounding ones to last and not get flooded out. I have ensured that a major insurance company knows this. Read more

This is just nuts and is not going to help at all. And what insurance company will insure a home built on a flood plain. You know what will help with the housing build smaller homes on smaller lots. People don't need big houses. Look at the size of the war time homes that were built after WW2. Read more

It is important to maintain our current Greenbelt as these areas would take years to regrow. Housing meant to enrich developers does not benefit residents of Ontario. We need immediate solutions to the housing crisis rather than solutions that will take years to be viable. Read more

I am strongly against this proposal (and highway). It is wasting tax payers money and will only benefit a few wealthy families who stand to benefit from building contracts. You are destroying the environment and also putting families at risk by building on ground that is not stable. Read more

Bill 23: It undermines democracy: removes the need to notify local communities and prevent them from challenging bad decisions. It takes away power from conservation authorities when we need them most due to climate crisis. Read more

This plan is fraught with short sightedness. Selling future generations out to line your developer buddies' pockets is a criminally stupid policy. I am certain this will lead to loss in the next election, and hopefully more drastic repercussions.

I truly believe that we can solve the housing crisis without affecting a protected area, the Greenbelt. I see the surrounding land of my suburban neighbourhood in Richmond Hill being demolished to build new housing. Read more

This is not a plan that should move forward. The housing crisis is due to a lack of AFFORDABLE housing, not housing as a whole. There are office buildings in the Toronto area that are vacant that can be repurposed into high-density, low-income housing. We do not need mansions on the Green Belt. Read more

I am totally against this proposal in its totality. We should not be touching the green belt in any way. It is much more important to repurpose empty office buildings in downtown Toronto and create high density, affordable housing. Stop any condo new builds and create dense, affordable housing.

Didn't the Premier of Ontario promise the public leave the geenbelt alone? What has changed? This proposal seems not only unwise, but corrupt. Shame on this government for caring only for lining Doug Ford's rich cronies pockets. Utterly despicable.
