Please remove Schedule 10…

Please 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 do not support this Schedule and strongly oppose giving municipalities a right to override provisions in the Acts above. These Acts have been enacted for a reason: to protect our environment, our drinking water, our farm land, the air we breathe. They must remain intact and must not be overridden.

Leaving this Schedule 10 in is the same as simply opening the Greenbelt up for construction without the need to follow and abide by any of the Acts stated above. In other words, it is the same as abolishing all these Acts that are of great significance to us and our well-being, just a different way of saying it.

Greenbelt is what makes Ontario - Ontario, and is what Ontario stands for.
