Bill 66 Schedule 10 scares…

Bill 66 Schedule 10 scares me knowing that at any time if my municipality chooses to use Schedule 10 at any time, without warning or notice, developers and councilors can, behind closed doors, come up with a bad development proposal . This proposal could ignore our Official Plan, could ignore good laws to protect my drinking water, farmland, green space, and communities. We will not be consulted, we will not have an opportunity to speak to it before the application is completed and we will have no recourse. With Bill 66, Schedule 10, permanent negative results can happen next door, down the street, in our neighbourhood and/ or in the natural areas of our town. I feel, like all of a sudden, I live in one of those countries where citizens rights, the rule of law, good government, good planning, respect for the natural environment and for future generations does not exist.

We do not need Bill 66, Schedule 10. We have lands available for industry. We have lands available for housing. We have good planning. We have good laws created by years of thought and by Conservative government.

Bill 66 is a threat to me, my family, to my children and their future, to my community, to my municipality. It is appalling. It must be cancelled in it's entirety.
