I am vehemently opposed to any amendments to the Greenbelt boundaries. The Greenbelt plays a critical role in addressing climate change, stopping sprawl, protecting farmland, forests and the source of our drinking water. Read more

There is no need to remove the proposed lands from the Greenbelt and the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan protections. There are 86,500 acres of land already for development outside these protected areas, enough for the next 30 years of development. Read more

Access to nature is essential to human health and recognized as a fundamental human right by the United Nations. These changes adversely impact some of the most sensitive and biodiverse land in all of Canada. Once gone, they are gone forever along with the intricate web of life they support. Read more

I agree that housing is needed, but what is needed is smart housing, not fast housing. Our children and grandchildren will be paying for the passage of this bill. In this time of global climate crisis it is important that politicians protect green spaces and agricultural land. Read more

This Bill is despicable and harms our human, animal, and ecological communities. I am ashamed that my province values a quick buck over a millennia of ecological development. If you are truly “for the people” you will repeal this bill and actually start caring for Ontarians.

There are many ways to increase housing without affecting the green belt. The greenbelt is there for a reason - it offers people an area to go where they can escape the pavement of the city, the environment absorbs a lot of the pollution we create and we need to protect farmland. Read more

I am a farmer in Ontario. I respect the land I own and operate! We must all on this planet and especially in Ontario, respect and cherish our valuable green belt. It is necessary for our survival! To allow law to be passed to build on this land is a crime against humanity! Read more

We do NOT want our protected greenbelt opened for development! This will cause irreparable damages to our ecology. The greenbelt houses 50% of the fruits grown in Ontario and 11% of the vegetables. To endanger this area is to endanger our food supplies! Read more

The loss of our greenbelt lands is an environmental tragedy. In light of the climate changes we are undergoing, the greenbelt is a saving force. To eliminate parts of it at your and the Premier's wim is not what you were elected for. To arbitrarily desimate the greenbelt is unconscionable. Read more

This will eliminate valuable farm land and sensitive areas to be developed for housing. Build somewhere else or in existing lands designated for housing. Do not create more sprawl and force people to drive and have cars. Read more
