Bill 66 will not encourage long term sustainability development or additional jobs for the province of Ontario.

1) Increase tax burdens for the populations of Ontario. It has already been shown that sprawling new developments costs cities more in service expansion than infill projects. infill project mean better utilization of existing infrastructure
2) This land isn't needed for developments. Government own data shows that there is more than enough land designated for development within existing cities and towns to accommodate the expected population growth until 2041.
3) Developments on the edge of cities will not improve transit or commute times in the province of Ontario, it will make them worse. We need infill project so that tax dollars can be invest in new transit projects.
4) These new communities will not provide desperately needed low-income or affordable housing projects for the Province of Ontario. Even if they were included, any money saved to these families would then have to be spend on affording a car.
5) This sprawl will be taking away local producers and farmers. The Province of Ontario will have to rely more on outside of Province Producers, why would we not want to support Canadian Farmers.

There are many other reasons why this Bill should not be passed, but at the heart of it this Bill will not make Ontario stronger, it will make it weaker.
