I am opposed to the proposed provisions in Schedule 10 of Bill 66 which basically allows businesses
and developers to sidestep acts which have been implemented to protect the safety of water sources
environmentally sensitive areas and farmland. These acts are not " Red Tape"! These have been enacted to create
a fair, sensible and ordered way to develop our economy without sacrificing such vital resources as
drinking water, clean air and agricultural land. The excuse of creating jobs is rather bogus! There is no great urgency for
job creation right now! The Ontario economy is booming: the jobless rate is at an all time low and many
businesses cannot fill vacancies in their work force! This proposed act has all the characteristics of a backroom deal with developers and big business: It is also not fair to small business. I don't object to growth: That is inevitable, but it must be done in a fair way that continues to protect our air, water and land.
You cannot eat, breathe or drink money! Once the farmland, the drinking water sources and the clean air is gone it it gone! If you need more tax revenue, start making large corporations pay their fair share.
Remember Walkerton!
