In consideration of the proposed amendments, Bill 66 we assessed for implications to public and environmental health. We are apprehensive of unintended negative consequences which may arise from the implementation of this bill. From our assessment, the implementation of Bill 66 to amend and repeal current legislation will potentially result in:

• Negative impacts to Ontario’s natural and built environment;
• Degradation of important water sources;
• Decreased preservation of greenspaces including agricultural lands, forests, parks and natural
heritage features;
• Decreased opportunities for physical activity;
• Impacts to child safety; and
• Increased risk of the spread of infectious diseases.
