I am concerned about Bill 66. There are too many parts to this Bill to allow proper review and debate in the time allowed. It should be separated into a series of smaller bills. Each of the regulations mentioned and identified for repeal or modification was put in place for good reasons. Those reasons should be reinvestigated before the regulation is changed or repealed. The government of Ontario should be more concerned about the health, welfare and safety of citizens and workers than the interests of businesses.

In particular, when plans and zoning have been put in place to protect the natural environment and green belts around cities, those should be respected and given more consideration than the short term interests of developers.

In another particular, allowing day cares to increase the ratio of children to caregivers is the wrong way to provide more affordable day care. You should be encouraging more job creation by providing more funding to help parents.
