Do not develop our Greenbelt! We need the farmland for food security. We need the money spent on real solutions for affordable housing rather than taking away from it. The money spent in the highway (that will only save the average commuter seconds) can also be spent on healthcare.

As a resident of southern Ontario I find it absolutely abhorrent that the Ford government is set to destroy land that has been protected for the benefit of all Ontario residents.
It is unconscionable also to destroy the areas that all manner of land animals, fish and fowl use as their habitat.

I do not think that the greenbelt area should be developed. It was set aside to enforce urban concentration and to protect the environment in that area including wilderness and habitat.
I am appalled by all the proposed amendments to the Greenbelt plan. There is ample land already approved for development in the vicinity of the Greenbelt. The government should be trying to get developers to build on this land that is already approved, not reducing the amount of protected land.
I am a Hamilton resident and very AGAINST development of the green belt. With climate change and impending doom unless we act aggressively, we need to preserve environmental land and farm land to feed us.

Mr Ford,
Why are you going back on your word? You promised to leave the green belt alone. Seems we all knew you were lying when you said that. Hands off the green belt. Stop it already!
Land should not be removed from any Greenbelt or other protected area in order to build housing. Using this approach to creating new houses is short-sighted.

I'm deeply sadden that there is even a thought of touching our Green Belt. Mr Ford please look forward at our future, at your grand babies future. Start planning for them to have it better. Leave your mark as someone who did great things. Not the one who destroyed everything.

This is a land grab that will ultimately be a huge windfall for developers and will have a major negative financial impact on municipalities. There is no good evidence that housing will be provided for the people that need or can afford it.

I strongly object to opening the Greenbelt. Building subdivisions on farmland won't solve the housing crisis. Only removes more farmland. Climate change means the traditional areas of growing vegetables mean they will be unaffordable and lead to more Greenhouse gases due to transportation.

This attack on the greenbelt is a disgusting display of corruption, greed, & evil. A handful of developers stand to profit by hundreds of millions of dollars, and the proposed suburban sprawl wont even put a dent in the housing crisis.

Removal of land from the Greenbelt is completely unacceptable.
I have no issue with the addition of Greenbelt land (The Paris Galt Moraine), but no land should be removed from the Greenbelt under any circumstances.

The removal of any amount of land from the current Greenbelt boundary would be extremely detrimental to Ontario. The types of houses that will be built in these proposed lands will not solve the housing crisis.

It is beyond reprehensible that the government is breaking their vow not to touch the Greenbelt. There is enough available space, through the use of increased density, to build the houses needed without touching this land.

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