Firstly the name "Green"Belt should mean Green not Black, when paving over the green it will never be back to green but remain as black (Paved over) forever.

We need to do all we can to preserve farmland. Housing can be built on land that is not suitable to grow crops. The reverse is not true. The Ford government seems hell bent on paving over some of the best farmland in Canada leaving us more dependent on imported food.

The greenbelt is an important piece of our province to all the people. It feeds us, it is home to many animals and it gives us nature. If you take that away many animals homes will be lost, many natural areas will be gone and we will not have enough food. Farms feed people.

Leave the green belt alone. There are certainly areas of Toronto and surrounding areas which can accommodate building without touching the Greenbelt. On another note all cities need to rely look at home constructions. We are loosing value able farmland that surrounds the cities.
This current generation has been doing so much to try to correct the mistakes of the past. Many of which are irreversible. Parents with young children and many of our educators have been working so hard to teach them to take care of our land and not destroy it.

The Greenbelt is protected for a reason. If we do not learn from previous generations we are doomed to repeat their mistakes. Let's take steps to protect and preserve. There is too kuch at stake if we destroy it.
Please do not do this. We desperately, desperately need the green belt in tact; it's a delicate ecosystem that needs to be preserved. By removing environmental protections, you are needlessly upsetting an ecosystem that contributes to our planet's safety and resiliency.

Why is this an issue when Ford promised not to touch the green belt? He is not thinking ahead. We need land for farming, for green space for peoples’ mental health. The land also needs to be shared with wildlife which is also important.

There are enough areas in this province that can be used to build the proposed 1.5 million homes WITHOUT touching the Green Belt. Corporate wealth at the expense of the environment has got to stop.
The Ford government has lied to us! Back in 2018, Ford said “he heard the people, hands off the greenbelt”. Now, he is going back on that promise even after the people of Hamilton said no to urban sprawl, where is the democracy in this!?

If you don’t care about farmland or the environment I can give you several other reasons why you should be angry about Bill 23
1. It strips the Conservation authority of regulating negative impacts on wetlands/streams and rivers.

I am opposed to taking back the green belt in the Teston Pine Valley area. We have had a dramatic increase of housing in this general area already and need to preserve this precious green space for future generations who live around the area.

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.

This is wrong on all levels. Should be investigated as to why now. Someone is filling their pockets on this terrible deal.
It must be stopped. We need our farmland, wetlands, and so do the wildlife need these lands.
It has been proven that you do not need to remove land from the greenbelt to meet housing targets. This is a deceitful , greedy, unnecessary move by our premier.
