The people are totally against this proposal. This land was protected for a reason and money and greed and back scratching will not stop. Why not use empty office buildings downtown for housing. No need to further destroy land that is essential for the well being of our future.
I am fully against this proposed amendment. The green belt is meant to be fully protected farm land, wetlands and watersheds. Wetlands are the kidneys of our planet. We should be protecting our province’s wild habitats and ecosystems, not developing them.

I believe this will set a dangerous precedent going forward. Housing has become a crisis for many people and I fear if this strategy is used we will ruin what little nature we have left.

I believe that the Green Belt should remain intact. Houses can be built elsewhere. Also, there are better solutions to a housing crisis than urban sprawl.
Affordable housing should be the top priority when housing is concerned.
This initiative will cause flooding. It will also build the type of housing that's not in shortage. The struggle is will low-income, high density housing, not suburban homes.
Please DO NOT do this. Our green belt areas are critically important to future generations. This is an election promise Doug Ford should not renege on.
This is an awful idea and will destroy an important and integral part of the southern Ontario landscape. Tourism, education and the environment will suffer and I expect that people will be up in arms over this.
This is a terrible idea because it won’t improve housing for average Ontario residents. It will make Ford’s developer buddies rich and build mansions on a flood zone. Instead use all the empty office buildings in Toronto and turn them into high density low income housing.
I am strongly OPPOSED to this proposal to open sections of protected Greenbelt land to development. Firstly, the Greenbelt boundaries were decided based on a variety of ecological and sociopolitical factors.

This is disgusting!!! This should never even have been a thought to be able to built on the green belt! Stick to your word ford and stop with the lies and manipulation!
This plan has short term benefits with long term problems. Building and developing is still possible with the limitations that already had been set.

Find another solution to the housing problem. Do not use protected nature to fix your problems. We are AGAINST this proposal. NO negotiations. It's a HARD NO for me.
After promising not to touch the greenbelt, Ford is trying to sneak it past us AGAIN. Enough already - stop further fragmenting our habitats.

As someone who has worked outside during the years, I've noticed the increased temperatures throughout the seasons, especially the summer. Along with this, I've noticed the increased amount of precipitation in the form of water during these warmer months.

I am against the proposed amendments to the Greenbelt Area boundary regulation.
The provincial government hasn't released any evidence demonstrating its plan for the Greenbelt would actually be good for the environment.

While providing more homes for Ontarians is a good goal, I believe it can be achieved within existing development boundaries. However, if Greenbelt lands are going to be opened up, it should be mandated that ALL building development is Passivhaus construction.

As a conservative, this is an absolutely horrendous plan. Will no longer be voting Doug Ford. I am appalled. The green belt is named so for a reason. It should not be developed.
