We must exercise great…

We must exercise great caution when involving amendments to existing bylaws and regulations. Rushed decisions create 'loopholes' which can be used to let our natural resources be manipulated by greedy and disrespectful businesses, however well-intended. Many are desperate for employment and would be willing to bypass zoning and protective measures. Exploitation of our homeland here in Canada, and indeed our Province of Ontario has occurred regularly over the generations...hasty agreements made between governments regarding woodlands, waterways and fossil fuels have left us in very bad situations all over the country due to 'big money' promises.
It appears that Bill 66 is not totally in the best interest of our future. I am not in agreement with any Bill being passed that the public is not consulted on. Our representatives are placed in position by the people....therefore any actions affecting our environment must reflect our wishes for a guaranteed future. Sections of Bill 66 suggest overriding the existing Greenbelt Legislation, meaning growth of industry and mass farming in environmentally-sensitive areas, and possibility affecting river waters downstream eg; Credit River waterways. If 'RED TAPE' is cut, then 'GREENBELTS' may also be cut. Then it's TOO LATE!
