Comment
I have deep concerns with Schedule 10 of this Bill with respect to opening the door legislatively to development in Ontario's Greenbelt. These concerns stem from comments Premier Ford made during his election campaign (which he publicly retracted) about opening the Greenbelt for developers. From my perspective based on reading Schedule 10 if passed, it can enable municipalities to open development of these lands protected by the Greenbelt Plan.
I strongly oppose any Bill opens up or eases the restrictions for development in the Greenbelt or surrounding land in the Golden Horseshoe protected by conservation plans. I have no doubt these sentiments are shared by Ontario's at large.
If the Bill is to proceed I would like some amendment that takes the concerns expressed into account.
