I am deeply concerned that Bill 66, Schedule 10, is taking Ontario in the wrong direction. I do not feel that “opening up for business” by reducing environmental protections is good for any of us in the long term. You need to create legislation that will encourage companies to consider the environment and the people who live there, first. If you allow the destruction of our farmlands, where will our food come from when it becomes too expensive to import, or because climate change has become so catastrophic? What happens when our drinking water is tainted? We do not need this type of legislation. We need a government that is thinking about its people’s future, and is ensuring that we have a cleaner environment than we currently do. Our future success as a people depends on us learning from the mistakes made over the last 200 years of industrialization and the small successes we’ve made after we’ve seen our mistakes, such as acid rain and the ozone layer. Be the government that leads us into a brighter future, not one that holds on to a past that is going to ruin us.
