The current Ontario government’s sprawl-friendly agenda spells disaster for nature and farmland, especially in the Greater Golden Horseshoe, one of the largest and fastest growing regions in North America. My concerns also include the Greenbelt. I strongly oppose the proposed changes.

I agree that protection for a Provincially Significant Employment Zone is needed.
The Lake Erie Industrial Park, located in Haldimand County, currently contains several businesses which support employment for Haldimand County and surrounding areas, most immediately, Norfolk County.

I would recommend to reinstate the authority of the local municipality to round-out hamlet boundaries in the greenbelt, that was originally in the 2006 Greenbelt plan, be added to the Proposed Provincial Planning Statement and the housekeeping amendment to the Greenbelt Plan.

We understand the importance of agricultural. However, we certainly hope there is consideration for seniors who live in rural areas who cannot do anything with there small non farmable land as they are zoned agricultural.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide input with respect to the proposed Provincial Planning Statement (draft PPS). Halton Region welcomes the opportunity to participate in the Government of Ontario’s request for comment on this initiative.

Leave farmland and green belts alone!!! Let's be realistic...there will not be any "affordable" housing built on the sprawl it will be just more of the same expensive suburb like we already have. We need to give up this insane idea of single family homes with private lots.

Toronto was one of the first cities to be certified as a Bird Friendly City by Nature Canada. The program was created to encourage cities to become better, safer places for birds. Bird populations are in steep decline and one of the major causes is loss of habitat.

If people wish to live in the country surrounded by farmland, they should have to buy the farm, and then rent out the land to farmers! Not start a group against spreading manure, etc…. We need to keep farmland in Ontario, not more residences.
The Provincial government needs to work together with all levels of government and civil society. We are in a "Code Red" for humanity and we need a climate action plan that includes:
