Bill 66, schedule 10 goes…

Bill 66, schedule 10 goes way too far!

I am writing to express my strong opposition to Schedule 10 of Bill 66, which introduces “open-for-business by-laws” that would circumvent many of the requirements under several laws to ensure fair, consistent and transparent public engagement in land use decisions and protection of water, natural heritage and human health in Ontario.

Under the guise of cutting red tape, Schedule 10 is a full-scale assault on the environment. Big business must factor the health, natural heritage and quality of life of ordinary Ontarians in its operations. We matter, and we demand that our government respect the well-being of the citizens of this province.

Please remove Schedule 10 from Bill 66.
