While I share many other people's concerns about the negative environmental impact this bill could have, I have an economic argument against it.
If the quality of the greenbelt, or other protected area, is impacted in any way by this bill (and it is obvious it would as presented), it will have a negative impact on the property values of those living nearby to these areas. Many people buy in locations for that proximity, and it is a factor in the value of there property. To have this bill erase their property values is not in the interest of Ontarians.

There are regulations that could be improved to help business, working on that is great. But that can be done without weakening any protections for environment for health. Keeping those protections intact (or improving them), also decreases health care costs and increases taxpayer revenue long term.
