I am against this proposal.
Please do not take away our Green Belt land. We have very little left and it's so ecologically important for our communities.

I am greatly concerned about the environmental impacts of this proposal. Not only the destruction of green space but the greater environmental impact of encouraging urban sprawl.

Why would you spend money ripped up the little environment we have left. We don't need more over priced homes. We need affordable housing. There are lots of buildings that are unused after the Pandemic why not put the money into more affordable housing in those unused buildings.
This is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. These lands need to be protected and I fact should have been protected years ago to a greater degree. Urban sprawl will nit work if one does nit have food to feed its population.

This is in direct opposition to the slowing of urban sprawl and the commitment made by Premier Ford. I strongly disagree with this proposal and do not support it. This is a poor plan.
As a local Durham region resident, parent and human being, I’m extremely disappointed in the short sightedness of this plan. The protection in these lands is suppose to be just that PROTECTED.

This decision overrides a November 2021 vote by Hamiltonian politicians to retain the urban boundaries and not destroy Ontario Greenbelt lands in favour of developer profit. 90 per cent of Hamiltonians favoured holding the boundary and keeping the Greenbelt safe.

I strongly oppose the proposed amendments to the greenbelt area boundary regulation! We as Ontarians need to prioritize care of our green spaces, we do not need to further diminish it in the name of development!

Opening the Greenbelt to developers will be disastrous for the environment and unhelpful to our current housing situation. What we need is high-density, affordable housing for Ontarians - not opening up protected land for unaffordable mansions.

Please save the Greenbelt! This area must be saved for Ontario’s wildlife and nature. We are in a climate crisis and destroying this land for future development is going to only make matters worse. There are a multitude of reasons why we should not develop on the greenbelt.

We need the greenbelt for future generations to have clean air and green spaces to explore! We also cannot keep destroying and paving over these conservation areas. We can never undo the damage.

I strongly oppose carving up the Greenbelt for use by developers. The proposed swap trading farmland for already-protected areas along rivers is not tenable. The suggestion that these already-protected areas along rivers and streams could be a substitute for valuable farmland is ludicrous.

The Greenbelt is there to protect wildlife, human life, and nature overall. It's to protect from floods and other natural disasters. It's also beautiful. It is not to be built on. Haven't settlers taken enough away from this land already?

There is a reason the Green Belt was established and protected. Taking away or amending the protections is failing the environment. We are in a climate emergency, the next generations of our children and grandchildren will be inheriting whatever we leave for them.
