Open for Business, or Bill…

Open for Business, or Bill B66, is a disaster waiting to happen for Ontario's Greenbelt and to the public health. Developers have been lobbying politicians for years to get reduce the size of the Greenbelt so they can access it for their residential and commercial developments. They are willing to sacrifice prime land for agriculture so they can grow their bank account. They are willing to jeopardize our water and our air (remember Walkerton?) so they can get richer. In their greed they are willing to sacrifice what is the world's largest protected area. And this government, by presenting this bill, is supporting this avarice.

This Bill must be defeated. This government is not about the people but about making a few wealthy people even richer. Protect our Greenbelt and stop this foolhardy and callous bill in its tracks.

Instead, this government should be working to expand the Greenbelt and to protect our waterways. We need not only a Greenbelt but a Blue Belt as well!
