Please do not proceed will Bill 66. It allows municipalities and corporations to circumvent environmental protection legislation which is necessary to protect our water, air and green spaces which are already threatened. There is a reason Ontarians flock to the natural world to swim and play in the lakes and hike in the fields and forests in their precious free time. Research has proven that being in nature surrounded by wildlife benefits our health and welfare and reduces stress. It is imperative for our health. We need clean water and air. There is already increasing rates of asthma and respiratory illnesses associated with polluted air.The green space we currently have is insufficient. I am asking you to not only preserve the Greenbelt that we already have but I challenge you to show some leadership and expand the Greenbelt with its current legislation intact for the benefit of the people of Ontario.
