Remove Schedule 10 from Bill…

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.

The safety of our drinking water and the integrity of the Greenbelt should not be undermined by Bill 66. Schedule 10 compromises critical environmental protections and undermines public health. It should be completely stricken from the legislation.

Ontario has some of the best soil in the country for farming, most of it being in the Greenbelt. We need to protect list limited resources that takes hundreds of years to replenish.

Water protections are more important today then they have ever been with fresh water being limited around the world. We need to protect this resource so that we can continue to enjoy it without worry of pollution or disease.
