Remove Schedule 10 from Bill…

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.

I am now retired and may not be around in 2050, but I have a deep concern for the health of future generations as well as the planet. Stripping any environmental protections is the wrong way to go. This government is kowtowing to big business to open up the greenbelt and Ontarians will be the losers in the long run. We need to think more creatively and focus on industries and job training that help the environment, including food production, water protection, and waste management. There could be big money and jobs in that sector if we get ahead of the curve. When it comes to the Greenbelt, the Ontario government must be an environmental headlight, not a taillight.
