Bill 66 will harm Ontario's long-term ability to protect the environment, water and air that sustains our economy. Protecting the fundamental elements that support Ontario is what conservatism should be all about.
Opening the Green belt to development is neither necessary or prudent. The green belt itself was a hard fought win for Ontario and serves to protect our valuable agricultural land, natural areas and guides development towards long-term sustainable solutions. Southern Ontario does not need any more sprawling suburbs that are expensive to service with sewer, water and transportation. Increased density in existing suburbs is the way to go and the Green Belt helps guide us in that direction.
For the sake of our kids and their kids, the Green Belt needs to be protected. Protected so they have clean water, clean air and nature close by to sustain them and inspire them.
PLEASE reject Bill 66 and embrace a sustainable future.
