The plan to develop the Greenbelt is beyond short sighted, beyond foolish, frankly, beyond comprehension. With climate change upon us we need to protect more green spaces, more watersheds and wetlands and reduce our carbon emissions wherever possible.

The proposed changes to the Greenbelt boundaries and protection of the greenbelt is so transparently a grift on the part of this government that I can't believe it even requires comment.

Doug Ford promised not to touch the Greenbelt but now that he’s in power he’s enabling his developer friends to build on it. The small parcel of land that’s proposed to be added to the Greenbelt does not compensate for the huge tracts of land that will be developed.

And where will this end? We don't want a concrete province. Find other resources and ways to increase housing. There is NO NEED to take over legislated green belts and wetlands.
I pray this entire government is found to be corrupt, by taking bribes from developers, etc.

I am among the demographic of Ontarians looking to find a permanent home and worrying that there may not be opportunities to live in the region I grew up in due to cost and limited availability.

I do not want to see any changes made to Ontario's Greenbelt. I agree that we need increased housing supply (affordable housing - not luxury), but that cannot be prioritized above the health of our green space.

I do NOT support the proposed amendments to the Greenbelt Area boundary regulation nor do I support any changes to the level of protection for the Oak Ridges Moraine. This land should be protected and kept out of the hands of the development community. It was protected for a reason.

This is clearly a cover supporting those with resources, and not in any way helping the housing crisis in Ontario. Housing along the Greenbelt (one rich in green spaces) for one will not be affordable for those seeking housing.

I am commenting here about the removal of municipalities, regions and individuals from being able to add their input and direction on the planning for future growth in their individual communities. This is a blatant affront to our democratic right.

Bill 23 is the most atrocious and disgusting attempt I have seen by this or any other provincial government to erase huge swathes of legislation put in place to protect Ontarians.

There are several glaring issues with this reduction of the Greenbelt.
1 We have not used up the housing land we have.
2 much of this land is not in obvious/logical locations for the next round of housing.

Good morning. I am not in support of Bill C-23 and the impacts it has to the Greenbelt. Though I support the urgency being displayed to work on addressing our province's housing crisis, I don't agree with the way in which we're going about it. Altering the Greenbelt is not part of the solution.

Your plan just talks about building more housing, some of it on land currently in the greenbelt. You propose to compensate the greenbelt by adding other land to the greenbelt.

This proposal is disgraceful. At a time when climate change is causing detrimental effects on people's livelihoods, no government should be removing areas of land from a protected area such as the Greenbelt. There are more innovative ways to solve the housing crisis.

PC Conservatives are really out of touch with Canadians if you truly believe that paving over already scarce green land that protects our neighbourhoods and communities from floods and other natural disasters to build million dollar homes is the solution to our housing crisis.

Why does it say that comments are open until December 4 and yet you ram through Bill 23 today???? It is so obviously the premier returning favours to the builders at the expense of the environment. Once that land is paved over, Ontario will never get it back.
