It is not acceptable to put health, the environment, and the lives of children at risk for potential economic gain. These regulations were put in place to avoid tragedies like Walkerton and the deaths of children at daycares, to ensure worker safety, and to protect what green space we have left. Cutting these regulations will put everyone in Ontario in danger. There is not even any evidence that cutting these regulations will result in any economic gain.

One of the promises during the campaign was that the Greenbelt would be protected "in its entirety". These cuts will remove that protection, breaking this promise. This would be a very easy election promise to keep, if you wanted to.

This government claims that it is a "government for the people". How can it possibly be "for the people" when it has no issue putting workers, children, and people who drink water or breathe air in danger for a quick buck.
