I am completely in agreement with bringing back previously exempted Greenbelt lands into the protected Greenbelt. Bring the legislation with no weasel escape clauses ASAP!!!! Once you remove prime agriculral land and environmentally sensitive lands, they are gone for good.

I fully support the move to introduce legislation that would restore the 15 parcels of land that were redesignated or removed from the Greenbelt in late 2022.

This is great. But not sufficient. Don't damage the greenbelt by building expensive and uneccesary highways that will encorage wasteful sprawling development. Ontario cant afford, socially, economically or environmentally, another generation of sprawl!!

I live outside the Province of Ontario, but in the GreenBelt is where my ancestors have resided since 1831. The best way to protect the Greenbelt is not to elect land grabbers like Doug Ford and his ilk.
The process of the original proposed changes to the Greenbelt was quite frankly corrupted and corrupt.
The current government showed its true colours. Why? Because the dealings between the gravel industry in Ontario and the highest levels of the current government of Premier Ford et al.

Thank you to all those who fought to protect our beloved greenbelt! Our greenbelt needs iron clad protection to guarantee that the next seven generations can enjoy its beauty. I am truly moved by this unity from Ontarians to save our greenbelt.

The Greenbelt must be returned to its original status and steps must be taken to ensure its protection status so that the Ontario government will never be able to touch the Greenbelt again.

We need to permanently protecting the Greenbelt to safeguard our communities' access to clean air, water, green space, and local food for generations to come. It's the legacy that we pass on to our children.
Our nature provides us with the essentials for life: clean air, water, and food. Let’s protect this for ourselves and all living beings, as well as for all future generations of humans and non-humans, so that we may be the generation that our descendants will thank
The Greenbelt must be sacrosanct. It must never be touched. Just one exemption for what seems like a reasonable reason will be the first crack that will lead to more and more exemptions. It can only be expanded!
I fully support the proposal. The Greenbelt is vital to our health and well-being and the health of our water sources and environment and we need to protect it forever. I was outraged at the provincial government's attempts to re-purpose this essential green space.
To do anything less than permanently protecting the Greenbelt and restoring the land that was robbed would be a travesty. As a gesture of good will, the amount of returned last should be added back two times over.
The fact that this amendment is necessary attests to the fact that governments don't always act in the best long-term interests of it's people, nor do they listen to public outcry if it doesn't suit the needs of politicians friends and their profit margins.

The Ontario Greenbelt must be fully protected at all costs. The value of the Ontario Greenbelt is incalculable as it it crucial to the Great Lakes ecosystem which is the largest freshwater ecosystem in the world.
