The Premier promised not to touch the Greenbelt and needs to keep his promise. There are plenty of other lands to build on within the current urban boundaries and no need to destroy sections of the Greenbelt. These lands need to remain protected!
I am angry that this government is taking such final action on treasured and iconic lands as the Greenbelt. I don't want the Greenbelt to be sliced up and given to developers for more housing.

The greenbelt can be added to, but you cannot remove land from it. The conservative government promised to not touch green belt lands. This is hypocrisy and undermine government legitimacy. There is enough land to develop needed housing without taking from the green belt.

I completely and wholly oppose bill 23 and any proposed changes to the green belts boundary. The ford government should focus on what the campaigned for.
I do not support selling off the green belt for any reason.
Mr Ford is breaking his promise. I will not vote for the PC party again.
This is disgusting.
There is no need for this land other than for green belt. There is enough land available.

I am completely opposed to this and any future bills that amend or make changes to negatively impact the greenbelt. We were told the greenbelt would remain untouched.
We don’t need more homes, we need affordable homes.
I am writing to express my strong opposition to your proposal to remove 7,400 acres from the Greenbelt (ERO #019-6216 and #019-6217).
I do not accept your government’s misleading premise that these Greenbelt lands are needed for housing.

The Premier promised to not touch the Greenbelt during his campaign, about the same time his developer buds were buying Greenbelt land.. for what, I wonder.
Kind of like...insider trading
It is appalling that Doug Ford promised not to touch the Greenbelt and that developers that both bought up the Greenbelt are being given the go ahead to pave over this area. We do not need more urban sprawl and commuters but rather we should be using land within current urban boundaries.

Leave the Green Belt alone! There should be no changes to it except to expand it. We have a duty to the environment and to future generations. Preserve our quality of life.

I find the fact that green belt land is to be used for housing disgusting. We live in one of the most beautiful places in the world and the land will not be there for future generations. Hamilton has many properties that can be built on and would contribute to rehabilitating the inner core.

I am EXTREMELY against this bill and All that it stands for, it will not create more affordable housing , but it will reduce our most fertile land. Completely delusional and greedy of our government.
The Greenbelt is to be highly valued! It is a vestige of hope for clean air, clean water, clean soil, clean food, as well as food security, in a tiny fragment of remaining healthy ecosystem. People value the Greenbelt for its many connections to Nature.

Please don't do this. There must be alternative ways to address the housing crisis. I know it is a complex matter but once green space disappears it can't be brought back.
