I am seriously concerned about the Open for Business Bill 66 that is proposed. I live in a country area inside the Green Belt and am aware of how more Wells, infrastructure and Roads can impact the existing homes and business once more building is allowed. Read more

Please stop and drop Bill 66 Schedule 10. It will allow developers to circumvent the Clean Water Act, the Greenbelt Act, the Great Lakes Protection Act, the Lake Simcoe Protection Act, the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act, the Places to Grow Act, and municipal Official Plans. Read more

I am writing to express my strong opposition to Bill 66 for a number of reasons. I might also add that the guile and haste with which it was introduced and then giving such a brief opportunity for submissions, is very objectionable. Read more

I am strongly opposed to the open-for-business planning tool. It undermines the Official Plan process by allowing municipalities to go around it. Beyond that, it undermines the municipality's responsibility to its citizens by allowing them to forgo public consultation. Read more
