It is clear that in the name…

It is clear that in the name of 'opening Ontario for business', Omnibus Bill66 will recklessly dismantle decades of law created to protect the basic rights of the people of Ontario, including the right to:

- clean air, drinking water and green space

- affordable housing and sustainable communities

- fair notice and consultation with constituents for proposed bylaws that could drastically and detrimentally affect peoples livelihoods and well-beings

- have any appeals process to local tribunals

Opening for business based on Bill 66 will set Ontario on a course that is decades backwards for:

- health and safety laws for workers in this province

- hazardous and toxic exposure and burden to all people

- sustaining and rebuilding a natural environment in need of critical care

- consultation processes and rights for constituents within their municipalities

I've lived my entire life in Ontario and seek to preserve the things we hold dear as Ontarians and Canadians including:

-> the natural environment we have sought hard to conserve,

--> the care and custodianship of the Great Lakes - the largest bodies of fresh water in the world,

-> class 1 agricultural land and the clean ground water needed to sustain production of farms upon this land, and the people and livestock who rely on this ground water for their drinking source.

-> access to safe living care for those most vulnerable such as our elderly and infirm through the long-term care facilities

The proposed overarching repeals in Bill 66 will have deleterious effects upon all people especially those who are too young to have voted for you, and who would be dealing with the fallout of a wrong decision for decades to come.

I am writing this comment because I wish to look my young nieces and nephews, and the children in my community in their eyes and say: I am doing all I can to make this world better for you.

For these reasons and many others that there is not adequate time to formulate a response too, I implore MPPs of all parties to VOTE NO to Bill 66. Do this so that you may be able to look the vast majority of your constituents who wish to have clean air, safe to drink water and the few green spaces we have left remain protected. Do this especially for those constituents too young to vote for their own future - they do deserve one too.
