Section 10 of this bill is…

Section 10 of this bill is an affront to the legal process! I am not a lawyer but anyone with a sense of right will know that creating development without any need for public consultation or appeal process and in the face of existing restrictions is outrageous. Disregarding legislation that has been implemented to protect the citizens of our province is irresponsible. Since when is business more important than the health of our natural world? Ignoring the Clean Water Act, and other acts, is not only irresponsible but downright dangerous. Did Walkerton teach us nothing?!
Do we really need to create jobs at huge cost to our environment and with long term detrimental effects at a time when unemployment is at an historical low?!
Giving developers free reign and ignoring safeguards that were put in place after much consultation and deliberation does not make Ontario "open for business". It is an attempt to take what little of our natural world we have left to make a few wealthy developers even wealthier.
While I cannot speak to the entirety of Bill 66, which is trying to plow through a myriad of issues with little or no debate, Section 10 is a blatant disregard of what is good and just. It cannot and must not be passed!
