I wholeheartedly agree with the following comment from CELA (Canadian Environmental Law Association): "Bill 66 represents an unprecedented and unacceptable attack on legislative provisions which currently safeguard environmental quality and public health and safety throughout Ontario."
I oppose this proposed legislation for many reasons, but primarily because It affects every municipality in Ontario. Bill 66 and allows municipalities across the province to create “open-for-business by-laws” that would trump critical legal requirements to protect water, natural heritage, farmland and human health and well-being. I am very fearful that these bylaws would take precedence over municipal official plans.
