The Province of Ontario’s…

The Province of Ontario’s proposed Bill 66 allows for provincial intervention to remove or weaken protections on safe drinking water, agricultural lands, and democratic consultation. Further, planning exemptions granted under Bill 66 would not require notification or consultation with residents. These proposed changes fly in the face of good governance. I reject Bill 66’s implicit suggestion that to grow the economy and add jobs we must accept environmental degradation, pave over farms, and risk the health of our families.
