I am in support of…

I am in support of strengthening, not weakening, the Greenbelt and I feel strongly that proper planning processes and principles should govern development, not economic policy. "Open for Business" should not mean "disregard for the environment and good planning." Sound development in brown-fields, not green-fields and protected areas should be the order of the day. Our ability to maintain a sustainable environment should not take second place to business.

In 2019, Bill 66 represents a regressive approach to important issues; sustainability, clean water, food production, environmental protection. Having all the jobs in the world is an empty victory when people's health and well-being are negatively effected by bad development policy.

I do not support Bill 66 and urge your government to listen to planners and environmentalists who understand the issues and are not motivated solely by industry and business profits. This is too important to leave to market forces. This is about everyone's well-being, not just the well-being of the few.
