Doug Ford, this Bill is…

Doug Ford, this Bill is rediculous and unacceptable. In a time of sweeping climate change, we urgently need to protect our natural resources, while your proposed regulations would remove safeguards over our environment and our health and safety.

First of all, the proposed Bill would repeal the Toxics Reductions Act, allowing businesses to release more toxic chemicals that damage our ecosystems and our sources of drinking water.

Furthermore, they would allow municipalities to pass by-laws that enable Ontario businesses to be non-compliant with provisions of the Clean Water Act, the Great Lakes Protection Act, the Greenbelt Act, and several more regulations that are important in protecting our critically endangered environment.

As a young Ontarian, I am disgusted with Doug Ford and the Ontario Conservative party. Environmentally speaking, the proposed Bill is not in the best interest of Ontario citizens. It would threaten our environment, and our livelihood in the long term.

I strongly urge all Ontario MP’s to prevent the passing of Bill 66 in its current form.

I also urge the Ontario government to implement improvements to the Ontario economy, and to promote competitiveness in Ontario, in ways that do not infringe on our rights to a clean and safe environment.
