Bill 66 is terrible for…

Bill 66 is terrible for individual Ontarians and the environment.

Schedule 10 must be removed from Bill 66, as it 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. It is imperative that the Greenbelt be protected and not bulldozed by greedy developers lining the pockets of politicians.

Bill 66 is also terrible for individual workers. It will only benefit businesses who financially supported the Premier.

It will force employees to work significant amounts of overtime without overtime pay, lower wages for unionized construction workers in many sectors of the economy and offer less protection from dishonest business practices by wireless companies.

We will have daycare centres with more children and fewer staff to look after them, less qualified caregivers in public school and daycare after hours care, long term care facilities being operated by corporations without experience and with even less oversight when there are already too many instances of elder abuse.

Please do NOT pass this bill in its current form. We, as Ontarians, need legislation that will benefit all of us, not just those who make campaign contributions.
