I am opposed to Schedule 10…

I am opposed to Schedule 10 of Bill 66 and urge that it be immediately abandoned or withdrawn by the Ontario government, because I agree with the conclusions in the December 17, 2018 briefing notes on Bill 66 made by the Canadian Environmental Law Association as quoted here:

"In CELA’s view, there is no legal justification or compelling public policy rationale for allowing
open-for-business planning by-laws to circumvent or override significant threat policies in source
protection plans approved under the CWA. Accordingly, Schedule 10 of Bill 66 is a regressive,
unwarranted and potentially risky proposal that is inconsistent with the public interest, and that
does not adequately safeguard the health and safety of the people of Ontario
CELA concludes that Schedule 10 of Bill 66 represents an unjustifiable rollback of current legal
requirements that were specifically enacted under the CWA to prevent a recurrence of the
Walkerton Tragedy. Accordingly, CELA strongly recommends that Schedule 10 be immediately
abandoned or withdrawn by the Ontario government. "
