Bill 66 will dramatically…

Bill 66 will dramatically reduce environmental protections for drinking water, farmland, and the greenbelt. It will set one municipality against another as they are approached by developers wanting to exploit currently protected land; and if one municipality refuses, the next one may agree, but the whole province will suffer. Furthermore, it will be done in secret under the new planning act, with no path of appeal for citizens. This is not a bill for the citizens of Ontario , but for the developers who want to reduce costs to themselves and dump the cost onto future generations, who will be faced by the problems of pollution and degradation of land.
