The legislation protecting the Green Belt is not red tape. Preservation of the Green Belt is essential to maintenance of southern Ontario's sustainability -- economic, environmental, social, infrastructural.

Remove Schedule 10 from Bill 66, which allows municipalities to override provisions in the Greenbelt Act, Clean Water Act, Lake Simcoe Act, Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act and Great Lakes Protection Act.

The government promised during the election to protect the Green Belt. It should keep its election promise. Schedule 10 breaks that promise and vitiates its legitimacy.
