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.

If voted into law, it could annihilate Ontario’s environmental regulations, contaminate clean drinking water, and open up the protected Greenbelt to mega-industrial development.

Do we really need another Walkerton crisis in which Ontario citizens have to die to make this point? The long-term ecological threats created by overdeveloping the land are well known. It's clear that "science" is not Mr. Ford's thing, but that doesn't negate the reality of science.

The only beneficiaries of this plan are big business. As for creating jobs, there are other ways to do that without damaging our ecosystem.

Schedule 10 is short-sighted, biased toward big business and unacceptable.
