The greenbelt was created to protect these environmentally sensitive lands as well as a portion of Ontario's agricultural lands. The greenbelt possesses an incredible sensitivity watershed that is ecologically important for the area.

This is a huge mistake, and disrespect to the people of Ontario. This land was protected because the majority of migratory birds nest here, and keeping this land green helps prevent catastrophic flooding. What good are houses if we don't have any oxygen?

I clearly remember when Mr Ford promised that he will make sure the protected Greenbelt lands would stay untouched, and how I was proud of his position.
Mr Ford backtracking now feels like a betrayal.

The Greenbelt needs to be protected for all Ontarians and not be turned into a cash grab for Doug Ford's rich buddies. He promised in 2018 that he wouldn't touch the greenbelt and he needs to keep that promise.
Hello, I am not in favour of using GreenBelt land to build more homes. We know that these green areas help to keep our land healthy, they support wildlife and native plants. Our Greenbelt offers us green areas that assist with mental health healing.

Hi there,
With climate change poised to be the most defining issues of the coming generation it is absolutely Ludacris to propose any legislation that would further erode the greenbelt and that promotes urban sprawl especially given the already poor state of our infrastructure

I am writing to provide feedback in response to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing’s Proposed Amendments to the Greenbelt Plan, as posted on the Environmental Registry of Ontario for consultation (ERO number: 019-6216).

I am strongly against the proposed amendments to the Greenbelt Plan. This will 100% affect my political stance and I will work to raise support in opposition to this proposal.

I strongly oppose the Proposed amendments to the Greenbelt Area boundary regulation! Ontario should be protecting our wildlife, greenspace, and natural spaces, not diminishing it in favour of developments.

I urge the premier to:
- withdraw the plan to remove lands from the Greenbelt;
- get on with a meaningful Greenbelt expansion that reflects public input - repeatedly promised but never delivered by the Ford government;

We need to protect Ontario's environment instead of developing on protected land. There are many other solutions to the housing crisis, and a bigger focus needs to be put on low income housing in areas of Ontario that could be turned over.

The total amount of space in the Greenbelt is not the most important consideration here. Listen to scientists. Those with knowledge of the interconnected systems understand that diversity of ecosystems is essential. The protected areas need to remain in place. Find a different solution.

How do you reconcile this move with preventing farmers from severing a retirement lot from their own homestead? This Greenbelt is a misleading sham that serves to make developers richer.

this seems like a poor idea. It's mostly wetlands, is it not? everything there will flood constantly, and it's protected land for a reason. helps with greenery, wildlife and such. IS there not enough space for mansions etc already in Toronto?
I do not agree with the Proposed Amendments to the Greenbelt Plan. It goes against the promises Doug Ford made to keep our Greenbelt in place and safe from developers.

How about instead of wasting money on a worthless project that will only build more mansions for the richest people in the province, you focused on making affordable housing for the thousands of working people instead.

Hello,
I am severely disappointed and concerned that the Ministry is seriously considering this. I'm doubly disappointed, as the current Premier of Ontario had a campaign promise to leave the Green Belt alone.
