I am vehemently opposed to Bill 66. My main concern is the provision that gives municipalities discretionary power to circumvent existing environmental regulations that are designed to protect natural spaces, farmland and water resources that fringe urban/suburban areas. These were designed specifically to reign in unbridled development and curb urban sprawl. Moreover, Bill 66 would only allow public input after municipal approval of a project and filing of an exemption from environmental regulations, a mockery of our democratic process. Bill 66 was concocted by Ford as payback to his big developer cronies (who contributed to his election campaign) and should not be passed!
