Regulations are not the same…

Regulations are not the same as "red tape". We need protections for ourselves, our children and our environment. For example, increasing the number of children per adult allowed in a daycare decreases the safety for each child.

If a regulation in Ontario duplicates or strengthens a federal regulation, application could be done for both at the same time, or an agreement could be made to allow application for the stronger regulation to cover both the provincial and the federal regulation. This is an example of reducing "red tape".

Our greenbelt needs to be protected, and the headwaters of Carruthers Creek should be added to the greenbelt. Remove Schedule 10 from Bill 66, which allows municipalities to override provisions in the Greenbelt Act, Clean Water Act, Lake Simcoe Act, Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act and Great Lakes Protection Act.
