There are better options to build than destroying our protected greenbelt land. We need affordable housing, not new million dollar builds to line developers pockets further. Toronto has new condo builds 70% empty upon a year after construction because people cannot afford it. Read more

This is a giant mistake. Removing the large chunks of the green belt will destroy the ecosystem and making future living conditions a problem for future residences. It’ll reduce land for farming, disrupt natures ability to create clean water, and greatly diminish carbon dioxide filtering.

I am strongly opposed to reducing the existing greenbelt. There are much better ways and places to build affordable housing in and around the city of Toronto. The provincial government needs work with municipalities to increase housing on already developed lands. Read more

In the time of environmental crisis with climate change, reducing our greenbelt is not the answer. Ensuring wildlife and our environment can renew itself it important and by removing the greenbelt from southern Ontario will just increase development and reduce the natural states of the province.

The Greenbelt is globally regarded as one of the most successful strategy to protect agriculture while allowing for citizen benefit. Getting rid of these protections are so short sighted and do not actually help with housing beyond benefitting those that own the land. Read more

This is absolutely ridiculous. The Greenbelt is there for a reason - by removing land from the Greenbelt you are taking away its reason for existence. Adding land to the Greenbelt is great- but not at the expense of removing some. Read more

A land swap has already occurred resulting in the Seaton Lands. A further swap of important ecological and farm land for marginal lands puts Ontario’s future in jeopardy. All of the lands to be developed are owned by the same people whom will benefit from the construction of the 413. Read more

Good day we are proposing the removal of the Greenbelt in Halton Hills on Lot 3 Concession 6 in-between Steeles and 5 Side road on the west side of the Sixth Line. Area is just outside of the Premier Gateway Employment area urban boundary. Read more

It is disgraceful what the government is doing to our beautiful country! Promises of planting trees and helping the environment; taxing Canadians carbon tax and so forth, just to turn around and destroy are protected land. Read more

- I support this proposal as we need more housing (considering the housing crisis going on). - if we don’t need the housing, first we need to reduce the immigration targets and ensure that housing is a right and not an investment vehicle.

I am strongly against this proposed amendment. The Greenbelt has been designated as protected land to preserve the natural heritage of Ontario and permanently protect several important wildlife and wetland areas. Read more
