“Remove Schedule 10 from Bill 66, which allows municipalities to override provisions in the Greenbelt Act, Clean Water Act, Lake Simcoe Act, Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act and Great Lakes Protection Act.

The safety of our drinking water and the integrity of the Greenbelt should not be undermined by Bill 66. Schedule 10 compromises critical environmental protections and undermines public health. It should be completely stricken from the legislation.

Ontarions who survived the Walkerton e-coli contamination are very well aware that our water(s) generally and our drinking water particularly require more, not less protection. Allowing municipalities to override any Acts of Government designed to safeguard our drinking water and its' sources will expose us to increased risks and should be stopped!"
