As someone who's lived in Ontario their entire lives and knows how much Ontario's greenspaces mean to myself, my friends, family and community, I think opening the greenbelt to development is such a destructive path to go down.

This is NOT what the people of Ontario want! Green spaces should remain GREEN! We do not want Ford and his government to use Greenbelt space for Housing, Commercial, or otherwise — preserve these natural spaces!
This is a horrible idea. Think of all of the wildlife displacement that will take place. All of the damage to our ecosystem for a completely unnecessary thing. Don’t you care about the world your children and grandchildren will have to live in?

The government lied to the people. This continues to be some of the most disheartening news along with what DF is doing to our medical and educational system. Our greenbelt was not to be touched, DOUG FORD PROMISED.

Removing protected lands from the Greenbelt, even if the total area is increased overall, is only a way to increase urban/suburban sprawl. Protected lands should stay protected, and sprawl should be reduced, not increased.

Development on conservation land is an awful idea. The wetlands alone will flood any thing that is built on that land. There are many brownfield developments that should be considered first if housing is constructed.
I under no circumstance want the greenbelt boundary to change. This will not drive housing prices down, rent control and zoning laws lower housing prices.

Ford has less honesty than he does cooking videos. The Premier should leave alone that which he said he would. He continues to make a mockery of his role, parading around as though he is completely above the laws by which the remainder of this province is expected to abide. Disgraceful.

The green belt should NOT be developed. It’s home to numerous specials of wildlife and developing it would only be for profit. Absolute no negotiable! This land must be saved for the wildlife of the region.

I strongly oppose the proposed amendments to the greenbelt area boundary regulation! We as Ontarians need to prioritize care of our greenspace, we do not need to further diminish it in the name of development!
Although adding onto the greenbelt, especially by including rivers and valleys, is important, these amendments should not be made. According to the Toronto Star, the Ford Government promised not to touch the greenbelt and also said no land swap would be made.

The greenbelt is an important area of our province that should be protected! Developing on this land will not only harm wildlife and destroy chunks of the beauty and diversity that this province has to offer, it is an ineffective and poorly thought out proposal.

There is no need to touch green lands when Toronto office buildings just sitting empty. This is the kind of cheap high density housing that we all looking for. It's there, its accessible. There is no need for goverment to touch these lands, and then bring 413 Highway plan into an action.

I am very concerned about this proposed expansion. I do not feel that adequate environmental studies have been completed and any industrial development will have an extreme negative effect on the wildlife and fauna in the area.

I oppose this with all of my heart. We cannot clear away more of our green space to satisfy developers, not with Climate Change.
In so doing, we would be going directly against the science.
The IPCC has been clear on this for years, but I will supply the link in any case.

The green belt exists to preserve wetlands and waterways for the great lakes, the largest body of freshwater in the world and defining characteristic of our region.

I strongly disagree with this proposal as it will displace wildlife and cause harm to our environment.
Surely there are better solutions that can be thought through and brought to the table.
