The time frame for construction of homes to commence no later than 2025 was set by people who obviously have no experience in land development and the respective approval process, unless the land owners are already sitting on subdivision plans and have various studies done and even then 2025 is not

If I'm not mistaken, I believe Premier Ford swore during his campaign that he would leave the Greenbelt alone, did he not? Did he not say that he would maintain the protections and conservation of the Greenbelt?

This is ridiculous. The Greenbelt is an important area for wildlife and should be protected. The Ford govt is corrupt, and the only ones who will benefit from this will be rich developers and landlords. The idea of affordable housing in Ontario is a joke.

Please stop destroying the future of our province. As a parent of young kids, I want me kids to feel safe and by destroying part of the greenbelt, you are making it unsafe for so many people with increase flood risks, global warming, etc.

Hello, I just wanted to say I think the Greenbelt should remain as is. It's protected land for a reason, as it homes many animals and wetlands. Please reconsider this act.
Why use ecologically important and arable lands for housing development when we could repurpose existing buildings and use the land to grow food and biofuel?
Affordable housing does not depend on uprooting protected habitat zones for housing. It requires proper regulations on the housing market so that housing prices reflec local income. Don't use afforable housing as an excuse to uproot the greenbelt.

I don't think this proposal is the way to go. The Greenbelt is not only protected land, but deeply prone to flooding. As someone who lives in an area that floods regularly, causing thousands of dollars in damages to basements and homes, building on the Greenbelt is just not a sound idea.

The Greenbelt protects a wide variety of wildlife and wetlands, and to build over top of that would be bad. There are thousands of empty houses and office buildings that can be repurposed to low-income housing, I don't see why this proposal would be beneficial.

The greenbelt is a very important part of Ontario wildlife ecosystem and should continue to be protected from any development or changes so the boundaries.

I want to share my sheer disgust that this proposal is even being considered. All of the greenbelt land hosts necessary ecosystems and provides necessary habitats to many animals. It was made a protected greenbelt for a reason and should stay that way. Otherwise what would be the point.

This proposal is an abhorrent attempt by Ford to go against his campaign promises in order to line the pockets of himself and his developer friends. The nature in Ontario is incredibly important not only for animals and recreational activities of Ontario citizens but also the climate as a whole.

I do not believe the solution to housing crises is to develop the Greenbelt. We risk the biodiversity of our native flora and fauna which are valuable in culture and in pleasure to those who call Southern Ontario home.

I do not understand why if this is for housing, you can't focus on the redevelopment of properties within cities rather than building on greenbelts and potential floodplains that have very little benefit in the long run. Please reconsider.
You should simply utilise the many empty office buildings in Toronto that already exist and turn them into high-density and low-income housing, which is what is needed, instead of removing a vital part of Ontario's ecosystems that will be even more important in coming years, for mansions for the ric

Doug Ford taking land from the greenbelt to benefit developers, after he promised he would not, is despicable. There are tons of buildings sitting empty in downtown London (where I live), and I'm told in Toronto as well, that could and should be repurposed for affordable housing.

I feel like this is a huge mistake. I understand that the party is beholden to the Vaughan developers but this is just gross. I am against this development of our greenbelt.
