I am alarmed to hear of the proponents in this bill that would allow businesses to ignore rules outlined in the Clean Water Act, the Great Lakes Protection Act and the Toxics Reduction Act. And shocked to hear that this bill could allow the Greenbelt to be opened up for industrial development and urban sprawl. These eco systems are needed around urban spaces and we have protected this land for a reason and should respect the agreements we've made in order to keep it healthy.

It is short-sighted and greedy to allow those greenspaces to be lost for money. What will be lost will be far greater than what money can buy. There are many other ways that business can be stimulated in Ontario communities, that don't involve irreparable damage to our greenspaces.

Please change this bill, Do not go forward with this. Uphold your promise, and uphold the Green Belt Act, the Great Lakes and Lake Simcoe Protections Acts and the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act. Protect our green spaces and water ways.
