With regard to Bill 66, I am deeply concerned that plans to cut "red tape" to encourage business development in Ontario will put our environment (especially fresh water resources and the Greenbelt), and therefore the health and safety of all Ontarians, at risk. In addition, it will leave citizens of this province with no recourse to appeal by-laws that can be passed behind closed doors without any prior public notice. Actually, I fail to understand how, in this day and age, the government is not doing everything it can to protect and sustain our environment and the incredible natural heritage we have in this province. What good will it do to have corporations flocking to set up shop in Ontario if our beautiful province is destroyed in the process? Please reconsider this bill and your priorities. Ontarians want business development, yes, but development that is sustainable and respects our environment, natural heritage, and the people of this province.
