Schedule 10 of Bill 66 must…

Schedule 10 of Bill 66 must be omitted. Premier Ford said he would protect the Greenbelt as part of his election platform. The public voted him in under this understanding. Schedule 10 removes most of the Greenbelt protection with only 'public consultation' offered as recourse. The Oak Ridges Moraine and the farmlands of the Greenbelt are crucial to the filtering of our water and to holding a reserve of land where food may be grown. The Province must have contingency plans for food production in an era of climate change. Once these lands are paved over, which they quickly will be once a profit motive is in play, then we have lost these food producing farmlands forever. Premier Ford, think of us "folks" and our future. These lands are future generations lifeblood, you are selling them out and betraying the common people through this disingenuous Bill. Your word should be your bond. These lands are NOT for political games and cheap sprawl. The Greenbelt must have permanent protection under the law.
