I am very much opposed to your attempt to use Bill 66 to remove restrictions on the Green Belt.

It is another attempt to allow Ontario to slip from the leading position we had on pollution control.

As you know the Green Belt is home to some 5500 farms, 78 species at risk and most importantly 102 million tonnes of carbon storage.

Your inclusion of Schedule 10 in Bill 66 will have a very negative impact on Ontario's attempt to reduce carbon pollution

I therefore request that you 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.

Thank you for your attention to my opinion on this serious matter
