Comment
I have a number of concerns about Bill 66:
- Under Schedule 3 I am concerned about what the removal of ECE or other person who meets the requirements will mean for the qualifications (or lack thereof) required for people working with young children.
- Under Schedule 5 I am concerned about the potential environmental harms and health consequences that may occur if the Toxics Reduction Act is repealed.
- Under Schedule 9 I feel that employers should still be required to post this poster or at the very least, provide the information to employees upon hiring. I am also concerned about the potential loss of union representation for employees who are currently represented by the construction industry.
- Under Schedule 10 I do not believe that municipalities should be able to bypass acts or to undertake developments without public consultation. I am also concerned about the possibility of some developments being exempted from the Clean Water Act and Greenbelt protections. This will only lead to environmental damages and possibly serious health consequences for Ontarians. "Red tape" is not in place as a nuisance, it is there for a reason and should not be removed for ease of developers at the expense of residents.
