I'm asking the Government of Ontario to Remove Schedule 10 from Bill 66, which would remove protection from the Greenbelt and other green spaces like the Oak Ridges Moraine.

These protected areas are absolutely critical to our local ecosystems, our local farmers, and possibly most importantly, the wellbeing and mental health of local taxpayers, who know that clean natural spaces are only minutes away and will not disappear.

I do not understand how removing this protection will do much to further "economic development" in the Province. Growing communities such as Guelph still have plenty of options for expansion and growth - the economy would be FAR better served with practical improvements to transit and commuting options than opening up critical greenspace for housing or industrial development.

Please do your part and remove Schedule 10.

Thank you.
