As a resident of Ontario for the last 47 years, I have been horrified to see so much green space - farms, woodland, etc. - be lost to housing and business development. The protections that were brought in by a former government to protect the Oak Ridges Moraine (the source of clean water for much of the GTA), and the recognition of the importance of greenspace in keeping us healthy are neceessary.

Removing the protections of the Greenbelt Act and the Clean Water Act endangers the health of the population in the largest population centre of the country, and will have a knock-on effect throughout the province in terms of food costs and health care costs.

It is tremendously important that Schedule 10 and all amendments to the two above-mentioned Acts be removed from this Bill.
