As a citizen of Canada and resident of Ontario, I am asking the Ontario government to remove Schedule 10 from Bill 66, which allows municipalities to override provisions in the Greenbelt Act, Clean Water Act, Lake Simcoe Act, Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act and Great Lakes Protection Act.

Those provisions are there for a reason: to protect a valuable green belt that everyone - rich, poor, conservative, or liberal, needs to survive. Obviously, if we went about developing all the land in the world, the world would soon reach a point where it could no longer sustain the Earth's growing population.

Neither the land, nor the law, should become the playthings of wealthy developers.
