Comment
As a concerned Ontarian, I worry that Bill 66 will have a negative impact on our fragile ecosystem through unwise development of the Greenbelt and Oak Ridges Moraine. There are many acts in place to protect this important land, such as the Planning Act, the Clean Water Act, the Great Lakes Protection Act, the Greenbelt Act, the Lake Simcoe Protection Act, the Oak Rides Moraine Conservation Act, and the Ontario Planning and Development Act.
Development for Ontario is good, but not when it cuts corners and threatens the health of our land and people. Please change Bill 66 so that it clearly protects these lands and gives local, municipal authorities the ability to reject development if it will have a negative environmental impact.
These Greenbelt areas need to be left alone so they can continue to naturally filter our water, purify our air and provide a connection to the land that our citizens badly need.
