Like many people I know I am very concerned that the changes that are proposed by Bill 66 will allow development in areas that are currently protected as environmentally important. Development can never be undone. I want this Ontario government and those of the future to respect the citizens and future citizens of this province by protecting the green belt.
The tourism industry depends on protecting our lakes and rivers and the green belt.
This bill can sideline municipal approvals and allow developers to go to the province for approvals. The provincial government was not elected to fulfil that role.
This bill reduces protection of source water. That’s cavalier given the Walkerton tradgedy.
This bill undermines smart growth planning that aims to increase density and facilitate affordable housing and public transit.
I’m not an activist. I’m just a regular person who is very concerned by this bill.
