It was absolutely criminal that these lands were ever removed from the Greenbelt. This government is unbelievably corrupt and cares only about siphoning public funds to developers. Restore the greenbelt lands. And next - it’s time to investigate the corruption behind the changes at Ontario Place.
As a resident of Ontario, I strongly support returning lands to the Greenbelt. They never should have been considered for removal in the first place, and especially not under such obviously corrupt circumstances-- the Ford government is on thin ice.

LEAVE THE GREENBELT ALONE!! Honestly, you lot act like we breath money. Can we at least have a little left that’s untouched by your “development”
I OPPOSE ALL AND ANY DEVELOPMENT TO THE GREENBELT.
Put the lands back. It’s a shame that this consultation is even being done. This tells us that you are more concerned with your reputation and impression management rather than protecting the environment. Stop operating like the mob and put the lands back.

While I definitely agree with leaving the Greenbelt without the developments for the rich developers I don’t agree with many points in the Greenbelt statute amendment act.

Dear ERO,
I am writing to express my support in principle for Bill 136 (Greenbelt Statute Law Amendment Act, 2023) and request that the following amendments be included in the final version of the legislation.

I recommend that 10 year Greenbelt Reviews can only add lands to the Greenbelt with no land removals or land swaps-what Doug Ford attempted to do must never happen again.
1. Require that the 10 year Greenbelt Reviews can only add lands to the Greenbelt with no land removals or land swaps
2. Require meaningful First Nations consultation
3. Prohibit “Pay to Slay” that enables habitat destruction of species at risk in the Greenbelt,

The Greenbelt nature, farmland, and wetlands must be protected. Thus the 413 and Bradford Bypass must not be built through it, no quarries allowed on it, and more land needs to be added to protect vulnerable watersheds and farmland!

As a long-time taxpayer in Ontario, I am extremely pleased that Bill 136, the Greenbelt Statute Law Amendment Act, has been proposed. I support it completely and want to emphasize that these points be made strongly in the Bill:

Greenbelt lands MUST be protected forever. Increasing the size of the greenbelt whenever possible is also highly desirable. Some land within the greenbelt should be assessed to see if environmental services could be improved…such as reforestation and wetland enhancements.
I am committed to protecting the Greenbelt. No paying for the privilege to develop - leave it alone!! Where possible, return the land to Indigenous peoples. No encroachment if any kind- Ontario needs to build housing via infil and save agricultural land and protect environment

As a resident of north Pickering for over 50 years, we have seen many changes, including the threat of an airport. The Greenbelt represents an irreplaceable collection of lands that belong to us all and the generations to come. They are also very important parts of wildlife corridors.

I was most relieved when The Ford government reversed the “gratuitous grab” of parts of our Green Belt. The fact that there could be any such plan showed me the duplicitous nature of our government.

I bought my land in 2005 when it was not in the Greenbelt then Kathleen Wynn put my lands into the Greenbelt with a touch of her pen ignoring that fact that there was no justification to put these lands into the Greenbelt.
