The lands have been protected for a reason and should remain that way. The Ford government wants to amend the greenbelt boundaries because the Conservatives and Ford will profit. Why did developers recently purchase protected land if they knew it couldn't be developed?

I live in the Niagara Region. We need to preserve our farmlands and greenbelt. You can't grow peaches on the Canadian Shield. There are plenty of lands that could be developed including vacant industrial and empty parking lots.

I am a Toronto resident and I completely oppose Bill 23 and any actions that destroy or damage any part of the Ontario green belt. Doug Ford promised to not touch the green belt in his platform and now he is betraying his voters and constituents.
Please do not open the floodgates of using Greenbelt land for housing. While we do need housing there are so many other available locations that do not take away precious protected green space.
Not to mention we need AFFORDABLE housing, not just more of it.

Doug Ford promised not to open up the Greenbelt. And now this??!!? IS NOTHING SACRED? Obviously not to the present Government of Ontario. What part of "When it's gone, it's gone" is so hard to understand?

The premier promised to not touch the greenbelt.
The government cannot remove and add lands to the greenbelt to suit their political purposes

I strongly opposed Bill 23 and what the Ford government is trying to do to the green space of this region. He has no respect for the ecology of Ontario - his only priorities are development and highways without regard for their consequences.

Please do not touch the Greenbelt land. It is protected and should remain that way as it is. It should not be reduced for any reason no exception. Thank you.
This government needs to re-think taking land and farms off this earth! We need green spaces for our wetlands and wildlife. To continue to go down this path will not be good for our children and grandchildren. I have lived in the Niagara region since birth and 40 years is quite a long time.

The green belt is essential for a Healthy Ontario.We as a society have an obligation to leave habitat alone that support the species that were here long before us.We have no greater right to be here than any other species.If what we do in this province cannot be done in a sustainable way for us and

Very disappointed that the provincial government thinks it’s OK to remove portions of the green belt to continue urban sprawl. Build up and not out if we need more affordable housing. Seems it’s just easier to bulldoze trees then re-zone areas that are currently not being used.

I was under the impression that Mr. Ford and his party promised to preserve the greenbelt. We should be adding to it not taking it away. Classic example of "paved paradise to put up a parking lot" Once it's gone, it's gone. Not a legacy I would want to have.

am opposed to Doug Ford’s plan to develop the greenbelt. Develop more density within the cities! There are huge swaths of Hamilton (where I live) that are underdeveloped vacant lots or underused / vacant buildings downtown that already have water, sewer, transit - why not add density there?

I am so opposed to building on any more of the green belt. This land needs to be preserved for future generations to keep green space and farmland. Once it’s paved over it’s gone forever.
