Building more housing is important, but this is not the way to do it. We should have intensification on existing transit, and preserve the existing watersheds - you can't just trade bits around.

I’ve had the great pleasure of exploring some of the conservation areas in the GTA and it’s unbelievable to me that the greenbelt is being threatened. We have so many other options ahead of destroying these precious spaces forever.

I am a lifelong resident of the Greater Toronto Area and am extremely opposed to this corrupt land grab proposal. I am thoroughly unconvinced that these measures will do anything to address the housing crisis.

"Undeveloped
land inside and outside existing municipal boundaries must
be part of the solution, particularly in northern and rural
communities, but isn’t nearly enough on its own. Most of the
solution must come from densification. Greenbelts and other

There is no adequate way to express my disgust with this bill and its true purpose. Even if there was, will anyone with any authority even read this comment? The Ontario PCs have made it clear for over four years that they have zero interest in listening to the public.

Hi there,
I am a 21 year old student studying at the University of Guelph. My home is back in Ajax but while studying here I have learnt a lot about climate change, mitigation strategies and carbon sequestration.

There is already a 30-year supply of land for housing in the Greater Golden Horseshoe, so there is NO need to change the Greenbelt's boundaries, NOR remove any lands from the Greenbelt, which was envisioned to remain PERMANENTLY PROTECTED.

Replacing existing Greenbelt land with new areas highlights the contradictory nature of this bill. There is no need to build on Greenbelt land in the first place.

I am not in favour of removing any lands currently being designated Greenbelt. Although we need to build new homes they definitely do not need to be on our remaining green spaces.

Amending the green belt for the sake of suburban sprawl is despicable. Ford said he wouldn’t touch the green belt and he needs to stick to that promise.
I am writing as an Ontario citizen and a taxpayer, to express my concern, and more accurately my complete disagreement, with Bill23.
In short, this Bill must not be passed!

I strongly oppose the destruction of Ontario's Greenbelt! Our wetlands and protected natural areas are precious...they protect us from flooding, drought, and climate change. We should be protecting more of this land, not less.

This proposal is an enormous mistake that will plague generations. We should densify already urbanized areas instead of continuing to sprawl over all available land.

Save the greenbelt! This is greedy and harmful. Building here is building sprawl. These protected lands are home to countless species of plants, animals, and insects that will be harmed, in turn harming all of us and Ontario’s future. Absolutely shameful.
The Ontario government projects that "the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) is projected to be the fastest growing region, with its population increasing by 2.9 million, or 41.3 per cent, from 7.1 million in 2021 to over 10.0 million by 2046." This projection is as much aspirational as positive; given the

I strongly oppose the removal of land from Ontario's protected greenbelt. Urban sprawl is already a widespread issue in Southern Ontario, causing severe traffic jams and further stress on already severely strained infrastructure. Do not allow this to happen.
This is a disgrace and should not even be up for debate, it goes against everything we are trying to do to protect the environment Stop this going through!! This is to line the pockets of developers and Fords Croonies a Profits Before people and the Planet ploy for sure!
