We are so disgusted by the current Ontario Government's actions that my husband (a physician) and I (a consultant) are considering leaving the province of Ontario and taking our money with us (which is all the current government seems to care about). Any government that puts forward a bill that threatens the integrity of the Greenbelt and makes it easier for businesses to circumvent the checks and balances that protect our environment and the health and well-being of the population is clearly out for short-term gain and has little concern for the future of this province. This is a selfish act of small minded government that takes the easy road, showing a real lack of creativity, insight, empathy, foresight, and leadership.

We urge you to 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.

The safety of our drinking water and the integrity of the Greenbelt should not be undermined by Bill 66. Schedule 10 compromises critical environmental protections and undermines public health. It should be completely stricken from the legislation.
