I am a "young" entrepreneur…

I am a young professional, who is lucky enough to call Ontario my home. I would ask that you, my public representatives oppose "Bill 66, Restoring Ontario’s Competitiveness Act, 2018" for the sake of us your fellow citizens, both current and future, regardless of political affiliation. This bill which apparently exists to "stimulate business investment, create good jobs, and make Ontario more competitive by cutting unnecessary regulations that are inefficient, inflexible or out of date." will very likely have unintended if not entirely opposing effects. In order for Ontario to be competitive, Ontarians must be healthy and as it stands Bill 66 is more of a "scourge" than a "salve" to the people. Through reading this document one can see many vital regulations simply being cut. This is likely because this bill doesn't deal with the true scope of our problems and therefore it simply cannot present us with the solutions we are in need of. It is clear these policies require further examination and improvement, but it is also clear that more collaboration with the scientific/specialist community is needed. For example, with circular economists, ecologists, researchers etc. to encourage a more nuanced approach to the many challenges that we are facing here in Ontario.
