This proposal is a disgrace to the values of Canadians. The benefactors will be wealthy developers and Doug Ford, while the natural habitats of our province are destroyed. Leave the wetlands alone.
Heck no. Leave the green belt alone and untouched. Preserve this critical piece of land in Ontario and stop trying to ram through these awful developments. I am completely AGAINST this proposal and all of your governments attempts to undermine environmental protection.
I'm an Ontario resident living in a greenbelt settlement area. I'm strongly against removal of any greenbelt lands. These lands were established as protected to maintain water supply, farmland, a healthy environment, and provide habitat and linkage corridors for wildlife.

Increase density over sprawl and protect our greenbelt. With climate change accelerating, protecting and enhancing greenbelts is more critical than ever to people and the environment.

This change will harm the current residents of the GTA and benefit the billionaire land developers.
The greenbelt provides significant benefits for the city and the surrounding ecosystem [1]. This expansion is designed to enrich the top 0.1% [2].

I think this is a very short sighted plan, removing more precious farming land from our province so that we can squish more people in to the already overcrowded GTA. This will looked at as a big mistake in the future. Please keep the greenbelt as it is.

I am fully against this amendment. The watersheds, wetlands, and farmland that are in our greenbelt are protected and not to be touched. I am in support of adding new protected land to greenbelt but not to taking any away.

To whom it may concern;
As an Ontario resident who is concerned about the housing crisis, this is an absolutely abhorrent solution.
This is the equivalent of putting out a forest fire with an earthquake.

The Ontario government promised to leave the greenbelt intact and not develop it, well now they are going back on that promise! Surely there are downtown areas that could be developed in place of the greenbelt!

The greenbelt protection was put in place for a reason that is still valid today. This plan will not solve the housing situation in the area. The only benefit to this plan is to increase the wealth of our leaders and their friends.
This is AWFUL. Short term greed in exchange for long term environmental well being. This is NOT a solution to housing shortages. We will feel the negative effects of this long after Ford is gone. I am disgusted.
The modification of the Greenbelt across Ontario is something that affects all Ontario residents and I wanted to share my thoughts about current proposal to amendment the Greenbelt Plan.

Green space is so important for mental health and well-being. Ontarians need to protect our green space.
It’s also important for wildlife to have a place to live.
We don’t need more development. Encourage higher density living instead.
The Greenbelt is one of the world’s largest protected area of farmland, forests, rivers/lakes, and wetlands. Taking away this protection would not only do irreparable damage to the ecosystems of these lands but would have an immeasurable impact on climate change and the climate crisis.

I am entirely against this amendment. Gutting greenbelt protections for the sake of developers is completely unethical and backwards. Uban sprawl is already having massively devastating impact on natural habitats and farm land, which are both essential to long-term sustainability.

While future housing is needed, even more necessary is the assured future of vastly more locally produced agriculture which can be delivered locally and consumed locally, significantly reducing costs and pollution.

Doug Ford promised to leave the greenbelt alone. Do not go back on that promise made. The Ontario government shóuld contribute to developing more co-op housing.
