Bill 66 appears to be…

Bill 66 appears to be intended to eliminate “red tape” and show that our Province is open for business. While the intention is good there are two parts of the bill that are just plain wrong.
Amendments to the Clean Water Act 2006, Section 7 of the Oak Ridges Moraine Act and the Greenbelt Plan.
These were all enacted for the protection of human health. Clean water is essential for life. If we don’t remain diligent and adamant about protecting all of our water sources we will become like some third world countries where people get very sick and die due to contaminated water. We live in a Province that should never let this possibility exist.
The other part is allowing Municipalities to enact the “Open for Business” by- law without providing notice or holding public meetings.
Development across this Province is rampant and by just providing the promise of jobs, developers and businesses will be given carte-blanche without concern for the community.
Citizens should have the right to decide or at least participate in the direction their community is taking.
