No to Bill 66
The Greenbelt needs to be be protected. It is home to 5,500 farms, 78 species at risk and 102 million tonnes of carbon storage. Jobs and business are important, as are clean water, air, and soil, biodiversity, and farming. Everyone wins when interests are balanced. Untethered development will degrade our beautiful province for generations to come. How will businesses recruit employees to a cultural and natural wasteland? Please look at the big picture and think long term. There is nothing inefficient, inflexible or out of date about the Greenbelt. It protects everyone from urban sprawl and ensures that Southern Ontarians have access to healthy, fresh food, as well as a retreat from hectic city life.
Bill 66 also removes clean water protections and rules for toxic chemicals, putting our water, land and public health at risk.
