I have many many concerns about this bill.

Although the Bill is designed to "put money in the pockets of Ontarians" by reducing red tape, only a few developers will get richer. Bill 66 will end up costing most of us more money when we have to clean up the messes the old (current) regulations would have prevented from happening.

Chief example is Schedule 10, the proposed "Open for Business" bylaw. These bylaws remove the necessity for proposed developments to meet the requirements of the Clean Water Act. Just one bad, groundwater-poisoning development can wreck our water supply, and leave us with a gargantuan cleanup bill, and maybe funeral bills for people killed, as happened in Walkerton.
