Bill 66 presents a truckload…

Bill 66 presents a truckload of changes announced right before things closed down for holiday thus eliminating a lot of time for discussion. Our green belt, farmland and the preservation of our water sources and clean air are all too important to become part of the machinations of one particular political party. It’s important to remember that these proposed changes may have a grievous effect on all of the above. We were in the process of improvement on toxic emissions into air and water and now to suggest your government remove any oversight and suggest self- monitoring - scrapping Toxic Reductions Act- seems overly optimistic - and detrimental. Don’t scrap TRA!
Please don’t allow for unbridled development within our rural spaces. The signs posted on much of our open space (read farmland) show developers are poised for the kill. Housing developments with little to no social services , no monies for transportation, mean further impact on overcrowded systems of roads and schools, not to mention hospitals, police and firefighters.
Bill 66 doesn’t present a reasonable and thoughtful way to implement improvement. Slow down - no bull-dozing needed!

Sincerely,

Resident of beautiful rural Caledon since 1981!
