I am against Bill 66, Restoring Ontario’s Competitiveness Act, 2018. It offers little to no assurances to protect our already vulnerable environment in particular our drinking water. For those of us who rely on our wells for our potable water are vulnerable to the lack of government regulations as proposed in Bill 66.
It is antediluvian reasoning that would suggest major companies want to move into rural communities. Whereas, urban centres go begging for more employment opportunities with an already efficient infrastructure in place. As a full time resident of a community bordering a popular cottage destination, quarry owners are already threatening our wells, foundations and wildlife to name a few-by blasting in pits located less than a football field away from a residential community.
A progressive government should be paying attention to what would work best in rural communities. Enhancing our best assets including: tourism, fishing, wildlife and preserving our environment for future generations.
