We are staring down the barrel of a climate crisis that will not only damage infrastructure but also future generations. I feel building on the Greenbelt would be a huge misstep that does not put Ontarians first in the slightest. Read more

Why are we touching the Greenbelt? The Housing Commission has found that we do not need to expand our urban boundaries to create the 1.5 million homes that we are told we need. This appears to be benefiting developers at the expense of our wetlands and protected areas. Read more

I do not think that any land in the greenbelt should be developed. The conservation authority has advised against it. Many experts do not think it is a good idea. That the area will be more likely to flood, as others have done in the gta. The farmland in the area is something we should not lose. Read more

I am horrified that premier Ford who had promised not to touch the greenbelt has now decided it can be developed. It is extremely concerning that a few developers have purchased greenbelt land in the past few years, which is now being removed from the greenbelt for development. Read more

The Doug ford Gov't needs to immediately stop with this idea that they have a mandate or even are able to change the status of protected land in the greenbelt and use it for housing, or anything else outside the scope of the previous agreement, and recent promise not to. Read more

Lands should not be removed from the Greenbelt. It was thoughtfully designed as part of a planning process. It protects important Agricultural lands and watersheds. This is critical to environmental stability and food security. Read more

No to removing any land from the greenbelt when we are facing a climate emergency. There are other places to put affordable housing. This government's promises to replace it are obviously empty and do not impact my perspective. Read more

This proposal is completely irresponsible at all levels of government. The environment protections should not be sacrificed for housing, commercial, retail development. This is our responsibility to protect. Canada is big enough - build somewhere else. There should be a referendum on this. Read more

I am heartbroken and disheartened by this proposed bill and the destruction of a significant portion of the Greenbelt. There is adequate land zoned for housing to build the proposed units without impacting the Greenbelt land. Read more

The proposed changes to the Greenbelt must not go ahead. The Greenbelt was protected for the good of all Ontarians, and removing those protections to build homes only the wealthiest can afford stands in direct opposition to that public good. Read more

We have farms in the greenbelt and some not. A lot of the farms excluded when the greenbelt was first laid out(2005?), Came down to who the owners were.Our opinion is with how much good farmland is being paved over this government will never get my support again! Read more
