The most dangerous aspect of Bill 66 is that it will allow municipalities to bypass critical environmental regulations as long as at least 50 new jobs are created. This will effectively gut the most important environmental protections in the province including:

the Greenbelt Act
the Clean Water Act
the Great Lakes Protection Act
the Lake Simcoe Act
the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act
Lives will certainly be at risk if Bill 66 passes. The Clean Water Act was created in answer to the Walkerton tragedy, which was a result of government cutting “red tape.” The contamination of drinking water sickened more than 2,000 people and resulted in six deaths.

We need to protect our environment at all costs and ensure a healthy province for our children and grandchildren to prosper in the future.
