Bill 66 may create some jobs in the short term, but by letting speculators and developers destroy built heritage, you are destroying future jobs.

By allowing damage to our built heritage - historic buildings and historic landscapes - you are compromising both part of our cultural fabric and our destinations for tourists both from Canada and from abroad. Historic buildings add character and texture to our towns and cities. New developments always say "Part of the Victorian Village of***", or "Close to the Historic Village of***". History and Culture are a draw. Don't allow a bunch of thoughtless renovators to destroy it.

Do not remove the protection of the Planning Act and Provincial Policy Statements for significant built heritage.
