Hello,

I'd like to share my thoughts and concerns on Bill 66:
-Schedule 3: home daycares are typically unlicensed and the number of children allowed in these care situations were reduced due to horrific circumstances where some children were killed/died from neglect. Having access to affordable childcare is only worthwhile if that childcare is safe. You should consider increasing subsidies for daycare instead. I can tell you with certainty that if I'm choosing between childcare where I know my child will have proper supervision vs. where they may not, I would choose proper supervision even to the detriment of my bank account.
-Schedule 5: reducing environmental and pollution restrictions on business is not a solution. If anything this has the potential to improve business OVER THE SHORT TERM, while irrevocably destroying our environment over the long term. This will negatively impact our environment and will have detrimental impacts on the health of Ontarians into the future.
-Schedule 7: I seriously question whether repealing the Wireless Services Agreement will draw business to Ontario. If anything, this will make it harder for smaller companies to compete and will force consumers into longer, more expensive agreements (reducing their consumer spending elsewhere, which has been proven to negatively impact economies)
-Schedule 9: I'm not even sure where to start on this one, but we are absolutely not in a position to put the rights of businesses over the rights of citizens & workers in Ontario. Reducing employment standards is not a solution nor should it even be a consideration. If the goal of the Ontario government is reduce the quality of life for people living & working here, then you will succeed. But these changes put our provinces most vulnerable at even greater risk.

Overall, from what I can see changes are being recommended and positioned that will make things easier and more profitable for businesses (and by extension some of the most wealthy in the province), but what these changes will also do is put the most vulnerable in the province at even greater risk. Increasing the number of children per private daycare worker will not make affordable childcare accessible to people, it will put them in a position of needing to choose between the safest option for their child and the more affordable option. It will put tiny children at risk of injury or death. Stopping employers from needing to post employment standards posters will not make people aware of their rights and of the obligations of their employer; it will simply make it easier for companies and businesses to abuse their people. This will put the blue-collar Ontario workers that you vowed to protect at a greater risk of serious injury or death. Reducing environmental standards for companies will mean that we don't have an Ontario to look forward to. This isn't a choice that should be made, you should be holding companies to a higher standard to protect the environment for future generations. What benefit is there to having free healthcare or education if we can't go outside?
