Instead of invading the greenbelt, Ontario should focus more on improving living conditions in existing developed lands. There's lots of empty buildings that could be fixed and repurposed.

I urge the premier to withdraw the plan to remove lands from the Greenbelt and maintain his initial promise to continue to protect these lands. This is not the pathway to affordable housing.
This is wrong. Multiple experts in this field have cautioned against doing this. There is so much wasted space already developed in Ontario and perhaps that could be explored.

I am very disappointed to see this government repeating mistakes from history. The GTA has been plagued by worsening urban sprawl. Our city has expanded too far and has consumed green spaces and increased car dependency and commute times. More highways encourage more sprawl.

No. Absolutely not. This was something doug ford said he would not do, when I voted Ford it was with the understanding he took this option off the table.
The Greenbelt does not belong to us or developers or politicians or the current government. It belongs to our children and our grandchildren and our great-grandchildren and all the generations to come.
LEAVE IT ALONE.
As a tax-paying young Canadian, working in the hospitality industry and doing school full-time, I am dismayed at this proposal to destroy the Greenbelt to build more houses.

The health of the Greenbelt affects the quality of drinking water for more than seven million Canadians. : described by both Environment Canada, and CWRS.

There is no need to keep building house after house after house. Malls and fast food chains don't create a better living environment. We can't keep pushing animals out of their natural habitats and bulldozing trees and plant-life, while still expecting earth to keep providing for us!!
This proposal to develop designated green space is short-sighted. Will it allow more suburban homes to be built - of course. That is a numbers game. Will it provide more affordable housing - No. It will provide more high priced suburban houses with access to a greatly reduced greenspace.

I cannot understate the importance of protecting green space from urban sprawl and developers. There is a housing crisis, but this is certainly not a good option to solve it as it will lead to mansions built on the greenbelt, not low income housing that's desperately needed.

I am fully against this amendment. The greenbelt fosters biodiversity in Ontario and must be protected against harmful development projects. I live by the greenbelt, it is my home, and I will fight to protect it!
The green belt area between Fiddlers Green Road and Shaver Road in Ancaster, will cost a fortune to the city. There is no water and sewer lines.
This will cost tax payer in the future.

This is the biggest slap in the face for Ontarians. Doug Ford said he wouldn't touch the green-belt and yet here we are. We do not need mansions on the green-belt. We need low-income housing. Why not repurpose the empty office buildings in Toronto as high-density living areas?

I believe the environmental experts when they say the proposal will cause a host of ecological problems. IT will damage wildlife in an ever shrinking habitat. It could endanger drinking water as well as some of the richest agricultural land in our country.
