It is inconceivable that a government that committed to protecting the Greenbelt is now putting it and all other natural and environmentally significant spaces at risk simply to attract polluters to our province. We have made great strides over the past several years in cleaning our air -- it's been several years since I've heard about any smog advisories in Toronto, and it used to be a daily feature on the weather reports. Allowing business to build on what precision little green space there is left in this province, and indeed the country, is reprehensible and grossly irresponsible.

You say that you are FOR THE PEOPLE, but actions like this are the opposite.

This Bill would put Ontario into a position similar to places like Houston which was devastated last year because their wetlands and flood plains have been developed and there was nowhere for the torrential rains to go.

Please keep Environmental Assessments with appropriate oversight as a mandatory requirement for any and all development that has the potential to infringe on environmentally significant areas, lakes and rivers.
