Many of the proposals seem aimed not so much at easing red tape, but rolling back years of hard won benefits. These include:

Home daycare limits on the number of children. How many children must die in order to get cheaper daycare?

Businesses will, in some cases, not post employment standards and REQUIRE workers to do more overtime over 44 hours per week average.

Toxic chemical regulations were introduced for valid reasons. If they are reduced or cancelled, it will allow businesses to ignore their responsibilities. They may save private money in the short term, but in the long run, Ontario citizens will be paying for cleanups instead. In other words, you privatize profits and download costs to the public purse. Personally, I do not believe that this will make Ontario more competitive.

Long term care is already a risky business for residents. As a senior myself, I certainly do not think that lowering administrative reports will improve things.

For most things in Bill 66, I do not think that the outcomes will make life anything but worse.
