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.

A greenbelt fails to be a greenbelt if we allow development to punch holes in it. I remember Walkerton, and 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, when we retain large amounts of undeveloped or brownfields land within the GTA that are not part of the Greenbelt. My opinion is that Schedule 10 should be completely dropped from Bill 66.
