I believe we should be cautious in eliminating legislative protections that are there for a good reason. We must not scrap regulations simply for the sake of scrapping regulations.

I'm especially concerned about provisions of Bill 66 that put the Ontario Greenbelt at risk. Schedule 10 allows for municipalities to enact "open-for-business planning by-laws" that would allow development of this rightly protected area of our province.

During the election campaign of 2018, Premier Ford was quoted as saying: ""The people have spoken. I'm going to listen to them, they don't want me to touch the Greenbelt, we won't touch the Greenbelt."

Let's be clear. Under Bill 66 as it's currently written, the Ontario Greenbelt will certainly be touched .... and not in a good way.
