I feel strongly that the Province should 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. This will put way too much pressure on municipalities to create jobs at the detriment to the environment that sustains us. The Greenbelt Act and Clean Water Act were created to put an end to treating the environment like it's just another thing for us to manipulate and exploit to our short-term gain. We must be protected from companies or governments who will pollute and destroy for their own gain. I believe that jobs must be created that don't destroy the environment. We're already paying for companies who did that in the previous century - we've got toxic waste and polluted environments that we're still trying to clean up. Have we learned nothing from the past?
