I would like to register my serious concern about and strong opposition to Bill 66. Specifically, I strongly believe that it is not worthwhile to allow municipalities to reduce red tape through open-for-business by-laws if it means allowing sections of the Clean Water Act, Great Lakes Protection Act and Greenbelt Act to be ignored. It is also a mistake to repeal the Toxics Reduction Act. These measures may offer some short-term economic gain, but at the cost of losing protection for our clean air, land and water. As a lifelong Ontarian and as a mother to two young children, and I am strongly against taking these risks and gambling with our water. Let us remember the lessons learned from the tragedy in Walkerton and keep legislating strong protections for safe water for us all, now and in the future.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
