Hello, I STRONGLY disagree…

Hello,

I STRONGLY disagree with Bill 66. Repealing the Toxins Act just allows companies more freedom to pollute our great lakes and water systems. Do we not remember what happened in Walkerton not so long ago in our memories? I don't understand an administration that is not forward thinking in regards to the sustainability of our province or our youth. As a student and future healthcare professional, I want to live in a world that is clean and has regulations on my water supply since having stringent environmental policies is something Ontario should pride itself in! My god we got rid of coal and are moving forward in renewable energy. That is an economy I pride myself in as a Canadian. Companies should invest in Ontario because we have strong human capital and different demographics for sales, not because we are playing a "race-to-the-bottom" approach in our environmental standards. We are better than this. The Ford Government wants to make Ontario more "competitive;" well, innovation is competitive, being sustainable makes you competitive since when these companies finish polluting our waterways, they will easily get up and move to others and there goes the however many temporary jobs you created at the expense of a life-time of clean water.

Regards,
A concerned youth
