Studies have made it absolutely clear that any development of the formerly protected lands of the Greenbelt is unnecessary. "There is enough land available to build over 2 million homes in the Greater Golden Horseshoe by 2031, without touching the Greenbelt or expanding urban boundaries."

Do not break up farms...subdividing each farm into 3 main lots to provide 12 homes! How foolish! Yes there is a housing crisis, but does the government not understand we have a FOOD CRISIS. We need every acre of land to produce local food.

Please update Section 2.9 on “Energy Conservation, Air Quality and Climate Change” to clearly mention that maintaining, retrofitting and adaptively-reusing existing buildings and structures is a good way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prepare for the impacts of a changing climate.

Rural areas expansion on prime agricultural land in municpalities (hamlets): before developement and expansion on prime agricultural land, it should be demonstrated that there is a need and requirement for additional building lots within the municipality.

I think it is disgraceful to have the largest industrial zoned area in Ontario broken up and used for housing. The businesses on the industrial land made the decision to locate there because it was zoned industrial, these are billion dollar decision.

The creation of residential lots on prime Agriculture designated lands seriously jeopardizes the viability of Ontario's Agriculture and Agri-Food Sector. To allow up to 3 residential lots in prime Agricultural areas is preposterous !

There is no doubt that the provision of more housing, especially affordable housing, in growing regions of Ontario is important and it's good that this government recognizes that and is motivated to do something about it.

I live in a small rural community west of Kitchener. We are surrounded by farmland which is used for crops that feed people and animals. We cannot afford to pave over farmland with boxy houses or estate homes....keep those to the city limits.

As a farmer whose family has farmed the same farm in Caledon for 150 years, I am supportive of the proposed policies to form a new provincial planning policy instrument.
I disagree with those who have concerns with the loss of farmland as well as those who are concerned with food security.

Please consider removing the protected industrial barrier around the Nanticoke area. As a resident who has watched this area remain underdeveloped please allow it to be considered for rezoning. We are naive to believe that our industrial partners will remain here indefinitely.

Dear Minister Clark,
I am writing to express my concerns regarding the proposed changes found in the proposed Provincial Policy Statement, 2023 (PPS 2023). Specifically, I am concerned about the impact the proposed policies will have on agricultural lands in the province.

I do like the ability of the municipalities to have the control over housing allowing them to use infill and higher density within the borders of the boundaries already existing.

My husband and I are opposed to allowing industrial lands be rezoned for housing next door
to s telco steel plant. We live near that area and are opposed especially with Hwy 6 traffic through Jarvis too much now without adding 40,000 new homes.
I would like to make a few comments concerning the MMHA proposal in regards to Indigenous engagement, the importance of archaeological sites, and the possibilities of protective mandates when dealing with First Nations heritage.
