Do you really think the solution to an AFFORDABILITY crisis is to spend more money on housing construction in a protected land area? What is the point of the Greenbelt's conservation boundaries if they are subject to change as soon as it is inconvenient for developers?

We need more housing, but not at the expense of destroying protected land. Why does this even need to be said? This land is supposed to be PERMANENTLY protected. Creating amendments to this just opens the door to destroying other important parts of the environment. There are other solutions.

As an Ontario resident, I would be far more supportive of an initiative to repurpose existing urban and suburban spaces for housing than this plan to remove a significant part of the Ontario Greenbelt.

Unequivocally do not allow any development of the Greenbelt. None. Figure something else out for housing (which is obviously a challenge and a real problem in our province), and keep election promises to not touch the Greenbelt. Don’t do it. We are watching and ready to vote out this government.
The title of Bill 23 - "More Homes Built Faster" is an interesting attempt to distract the public from the real intent of the legislation, that being to make it easier for developers to encroach on protected lands for development. Yes, we are in need of more homes for people to live in.

I support these changes because the changes are providing a solid foundation to address Ontario’s housing supply crisis over the long term. We have lots of green space in other areas of Ontario — why create a greenbelt where houses and highways need to be built?

There should absolutely be no lifting of any environmental protections in the Greenbelt, or anywhere else for that matter. Protecting our wetlands and natural environment should be of the highest priority at this critical juncture in the climate change crisis.

I am completely against it. Doug Ford is running this province into the ground, and does not need to develop houses on the Greenbelt. This area is supposed to be protected and untouched.

The greenbelt was created to preserve the farmlands and nature that was at risk of being destroyed by unending sprawling development. By removing pieces of the greenbelt, the provincial government dooms these farmland and nature that we had hoped would be protected forever.

If we lose the green belt we lose biodiversity and many species that are unique to this area. If we don't have enough wetlands, trees, proper biodiversity and healthy ecosystems we are more prone to flooding which impacts houses, insurance rates, etc.
The greenbelt is:

I oppose Bill 23, the Greenbelt should be protected as promised by Premier Ford. The natural environment, animal habitats and farmland should not be sacrificed and destroyed for urban sprawl.
As currently written, this amendment would be a disaster for Ontario. As the climate crisis worsens, wetlands are essential to stave off expensive floods, and farmland is increasingly valuable - yet this amendment would decimate both.
