The report on the “public consultation” stated:</div><div><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1rem; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.6; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; caret-color: rgb(77, 77, 77); color: rgb(77, 77, 77); font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span lang="EN-US" xml:lang="EN-US" style="box-sizing: inherit;">"<i>The government received feedback from approximately 19,800 submissions related to this proposal. </i></span></span></span></span><i>In addition to written comments, the Ministry met with the Greenbelt Council to seek their feedback.

Numerous submissions asserted that the proposal is contradictory to the vision and goals of the Greenbelt Plan and requested a full withdrawal of the proposal. All responding Conservation Authorities were unsupportive of the proposal. Responding Indigenous communities did not support the proposed removals.</span><font color="#4d4d4d" face="Open Sans, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="caret-color: rgb(77, 77, 77);">”</span></font></i></div><div><font color="#4d4d4d" face="Open Sans, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="caret-color: rgb(77, 77, 77); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br></span></font></div><div><font color="#4d4d4d" face="Open Sans, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="caret-color: rgb(77, 77, 77); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><b>BUT</b></span></font></div><div><i><font color="#4d4d4d" face="Open Sans, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="caret-color: rgb(77, 77, 77); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">"</span></font><span style="caret-color: rgb(77, 77, 77); color: rgb(77, 77, 77); font-family: "Open Sans", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">No changes were made to the proposal as a result of public consultation.</span></i><font color="#4d4d4d" face="Open Sans, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="caret-color: rgb(77, 77, 77);"><i>”</i></span></font></div><div><font color="#4d4d4d" face="Open Sans, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="caret-color: rgb(77, 77, 77);"><i><br></i></span></font></div><div><font color="#4d4d4d" face="Open Sans, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="caret-color: rgb(77, 77, 77);"><i>The report is available at: </i></span></font><a href="https://ero.ontario.ca/notice/019-6217#effects-of-consultation">https://ero.ontario.ca/notice/019-6217#effects-of-consultation</a></div><div><i><font color="#4d4d4d" face="Open Sans, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="caret-color: rgb(77, 77, 77); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br></span></font></i></div><div><font color="#4d4d4d" face="Open Sans, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="caret-color: rgb(77, 77, 77); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="font-style: normal;"> It seems as though our provincial government, elected by a minority of those who voted, is not listening.</span></span></font></div><div><font color="#4d4d4d" face="Open Sans, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="caret-color: rgb(77, 77, 77); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br></span></font></div><div><font color="#4d4d4d" face="Open Sans, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="caret-color: rgb(77, 77, 77); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Peace;</span></font></div><div><font color="#4d4d4d" face="Open Sans, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="caret-color: rgb(77, 77, 77); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Allan<br></span></font><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div>On Jan 4, 2023, at 11:23 PM, 2docp 2docp <2docp@bell.net> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div><div>Hold on a second.
