I am not in favour of Schedule 10 in Bill 66. We need provincial oversight of a environmental region that provides benefits across multiple municipal jurisdictions. The Green Belt is a beneficial commons that extends beyond municipal boundaries. The benefit of a relatively intact (or not a reduced intact region) has already been established, by taxpayer dollars I might add. If we are looking to not waste tax dollars then let us not allow municipalities to decide on local interests over more regional interests of this commons.
We need the farms of the Green Belt. We needs the animals and forests and swamps and wetlands of the Green Belt. We need the carbon storage of the Green Belt.
Please don't make donkey-decisions. Remove Schedule 10 of Bill 66 for the benefit of today's children, tomorrow's adults and their children to come.
