DO NOT REMOVE Schedule 10…

DO NOT 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.

If anyone is to stop for one minute and think about the health of their children, or any other children they hold dear, they will vote to remove schedule 10 from Bill 66, in it's entirety. I AM A MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER. I want my taxes to go to sustainable agricultural development on our lands. Protect our air water and land from cutting trees and industrial development.

Those who believe that jobs are the only think that is important to the future of our children, are poorly mistaken and misled. Jobs are only as good as the quality of life they support, and it is undeniable that quality of life is dependant on fresh water, fresh air, fresh food, and healthy ecosystems. Without these, jobs do not matter, 'growth' does not matter, nothing matters, as all will be lost.

To weaken environmental laws to ‘open Ontario for business.’ Is archaic out of date thinking! We can’t sustain jobs without sustaining a healthy environment.

I don’t want the Greenbelt - home to 5,500 farms, 78 species at risk and 102 million tonnes of carbon storage - carved up with factories .
