I am against Bill 66. I live…

I am against Bill 66.
I live in the Hamlet of Glen Williams and see the degradation of farmland and natural areas in the area known as the Golden Horseshoe as going vastly unchecked by the very people we have elected to protect them.
I understand the need for oversight by government, but feel that the "Open For Business-Bill 66", is more about selling off our children's future, rather than the Premier of Ontario's assertion that it invests in it. I would urge urban planners and policy makers to think/look 50 years ahead instead of just until the next election cycle. This is not about "restoring" Ontario's competitiveness. The residents of Ontario have, over time, decided that clean air, and living space is just as important to them as jobs. The Premier wants to claw back, the accomplishments that the Ontario people, (his own constituents!) have voiced as being their preference, that being quality of life over corporate gains.

If there is a need for better/new infrastructure (which there should always be), please think ahead and create it in areas that currently go underutilized. Business will be attracted to the reduced cost of being outside the GTA, workers could then migrate toward a job market that supports the potential for cheaper housing, and where the transportation and communication services are firmly in place.
Simply extending or adding onto areas already grid-locked with traffic has become the simple, cheap, and unimaginative answer to a long-term problem that current politicians have either failed to identify, or more likely chosen to refuse to acknowledge. Bill 66 is their admission they are about to do both. Please, rethink, rework, or resign Bill 66.
