Doug Ford clearly tipped off developers prior to these amendments. The likelihood of these transactions being coincidental is extremely low. He is only acting in his own and his buddies’ interests, not the general public or environment.
I’m extremely disappointed that the provincial government is proposing removing portions of the Greenbelt. I’m opposed to this proposal because: 1) wetlands cannot be replaced on a 1:1 basis, 2) the risks to flood regulation and water quality, and 3) housing can be built in existing neighbourhoods.

Doug Ford promised not to open the Greenbelt to developers. This land is for all Ontarians, not for the benefit of his developer donors.
Maintain or enlarge the Greenbelt and cancel highway 413.
Bill 23 must be repealed in its entirety. Urban sprawl into the Greenbelt is not an acceptable solution as this proposal suggests. We need preserve farmland and natural spaces to support people (through food supply and mental/physical health) and the environment.

I object to the proposed amendments. Keep the boundaries as they are. Save our greenspace and farmlands in the greenbelt! This will not increase the building of affordable housing.

Opening up the Greenbelt will diminish the quality of life for future generations. There is no proven benefit for the community except for the developers. Why would the developers be funding adds for this.
Does this government not have any more creative ideas?

Although I don’t live in Pickering, I am concerned at the amount of green space being removed from the town. As seen on the map, it is a significant area of green belt within the GTA as opposed to being on the fringe.

What disturbs me most about the passing of this bill is its shortsightedness and lack of proper planning. Municipalities, environmental groups, housing experts and citizens alike oppose Bill 23 because simply put- it will not fix the housing crisis.

I am a proponent of developing transit and housing. But what first world county can possibly think that chopping off a green belt is a good idea? With all the resources in the world, can the government not think of any other solutions?

Iam vehemently opposed to the more homes built faster plan, which includes the expansion of development opportunities on the greenbelt. Hamilton and other cities democratically voted to maintain the fixed urban boundaries and to build the necessary housing within the existing urban boundaries.

In 2017 and again in 2021, the Ontario government held consultations to expand the Greenbelt. The government has never shared the results of these consultations.

The Greenbelt must not be encroached on with sprawl and development. It is essential to our sustainability as a province, environmentally and economically.

The proposed realignment of the greenbelt boundaries is robbing my daughter and other future Ontario residents of clean air, clean water and access to food growing areas.

The greenbelt should remain as it is and it is vitally important for Conservation Authorities to be able to provide input on any development within their watershed.
