I am writing to express my concerns over Schedule 10 of Bill 66.

I strongly oppose this Bill and the changes it proposes. Bill 66 will roll back many of the province’s fundamental water and environmental protection rules - that are in place to protect me, my children and all Ontario's citizens from pollution, exposure to toxic chemical and over-development (urban sprawl). I do not feel that the price of "progress" and the need to "cut red tape" need to come at the expense of our collective health and that of the planet for which we live and depend on for our survival. Surely by 2019 we are educated enough to understand the implications of our human impact to the environment.

Do what is right - continue to uphold the laws and legislation already in place to prioritize the environment, and by default - the health of each citizen of Ontario. Being "open for business" should not mean destruction of the environment. Some things should not be sacrificed!
