Opening up the greenbelt is a terrible idea, and incredibly short-sighted. It will provide only a small percentage of the homes needed - which would be much better addressed by densification. And the attack on the Conservation Authorities is draconian. It will be open season on Conservation lands.

I am not in support of removing lands from the Greenbelt. Replacing these lands with new lands will not replace the value of the Greenbelt. I strongly advise the government not to take land out of the Greenbelt for housing. Please consider building outside of the Greenbelt.

This afternoon the Ontario government announced that it intends to break its loudest, clearest election promise, by inflicting a fatal 7,400 acre wound on the vital and wildly popular Greenbelt.

The green belt is supposed to be protected land leave it be. Build somewhere more appropriate… Mr. Ford just don’t forget to tell your buddies/donors where first! 🤮 oops I mean 🤑
Doug Ford promised not to touch the Greenbelt. Keep your promise Doug. We cannot afford to continue to recklessly take away sensitive habitat from plants and species that we share this planet with.We should be doing more to protect our environment not less.

There is so much greenfield land available I don’t understand, why, in this climate of environmental stresses we are experiencing, we would hand over our greenbelt land!?
I am completely and absolutely opposed to Bill 23 and any plans to develop any lands designated as Greenbelt.
This is a travesty. Doug Ford PROMISED not to touch the Greenbelt. PROMISED!

I have reviewed the available documents. I am justified in denying you my permission and approval of bill 23.
This is a bully bill, which must be denied as it is not in the best interest of all Ontario taxpayers.

I fully support building more homes. This is 100% needed. But the provincial government's approach to this is not right. The Greenbelt is the Greenbelt for a reason. The natural lands are supposed to be protected and it's supposed to limit sprawling development.

The green belt areas were designated for a reason. They are biodiverse and extremely important for the health our environment and our citizens. There are other ways to develop existing communities and those outside of green belt areas. The Ford government needs to find away.
Affordable housing musy become an immediate priority for the Ontario government. People are dying everyday as a result of unstable access the housing. Although, this should NOT come with the a consequence of a destroyed green belt. Use your brains to collectively finding a better solution.
Repeal Bill 23.
It's a bad idea to start with since we're living in climate emergency. Where is the emergency if we act by taking 7400 acers of the green belt and convert it to concrete and asphalt?
Green belts have many important local functions:
1. Water sinks for floods

Bill 23 is atrocious!
It is the opposite to funding and paying attention to climate variability.
Conservation authorities and the Greenbelt matter tremendously. Hello!?
As a citizen of the beautiful province of Ontario, I strongly oppose the proposed amendments to the Greenbelt Area boundary regulation under the omnibus Bill C-23 (the housing bill), on the grounds of the effects of these changes as well as the underlying rationale.
