Please remember the benefits of the green belt.
We all need fresh water, clean air, locally grown produce. Being in nature contributes to our physical and mental health. Limiting urban sprawl is essential in ensuring a vigorous and dynamic city.

I believe Bill 66 is bad for the environment including air, water, and landscape, and is thus bad for our health. I submit the comments below (as supported by ontarionature.org).

Please don’t allow the Greenbelt to be ruined for nothing but greed. Do you not have children and grandchildren? Do you not want to leave some nature for the next generation? Use your power to save our planet, not to help destroy it.
I am very much opposed to your attempt to use Bill 66 to remove restrictions on the Green Belt.
It is another attempt to allow Ontario to slip from the leading position we had on pollution control.

Gutting important regulatory safeguards in the hopes of creating a few jobs is incredibly short sighted. Bill 66 will not make Ontario more competitive – but it will endanger our health, our communities, our environment and our future.

For what little it's worth, I do not support this bill. I support the laws and protections that preserve the safety of the public, the green spaces and the dignity of the people of Ontario. We should not join this "race to the bottom" unless we want to end up there.

Ontario's Greenbelt is very important for urban recreation (re - creation). We cannot rely on cash-strapped municipalities to consider this value. Schedule 10 is a very dangerous precedent against the opportunities of our future generations. This section must be eliminated.
Remove Schedule 10 from Bill 66, which allows municipalities to override provisions in the Greenbelt Act, Clean Water Act, Lake Simcoe Act, Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act and Great Lakes Protection Act.
The Ontario Rivers Alliance (ORA) is a Not-for-Profit grassroots organization acting as a voice for several stewardships, organizations, individuals and Indigenous members who have come together to protect, conserve and restore healthy river ecosystems.

Remove Schedule 10 from Bill 66, which allows municipalities to override provisions in the Greenbelt Act, Clean Water Act, Lake Simcoe Act, Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act and Great Lakes Protection Act.
The Greenbelt is one of the ways that we are currently protecting our environment here in Ontario. Opening it up to development decreases access to nature across the province and jeopardizes our natural environment.

Remove Schedule 10 from Bill 66, which allows municipalities to override provisions in the Greenbelt Act, Clean Water Act, Lake Simcoe Act, Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act and Great Lakes Protection Act.
I am writing to share my strong disagreement with the proposals in Bill 66. I am deeply concerned about the impact this Bill and the proposed 'Open for Business' bylaws will have on the environment, on planning, housing affordability, and the long term sustainability of our communities.

We need to protect our green space, not build more homes and warehouses on them. There is already too much urban sprawl, it is time to think of the future, now,
instead of filling the developers pockets with more money.

I am writing to voice my opposition to Bill 66 which, if passed, would undermine many critically important pieces of legislation that were created to protect the people of Ontario.

A huge effort was involved in protecting areas that are environmentally sensitive. To allow municipalities to override provisions in the Greenbelt Act, Clean Water Act, Lake Simcoe Act, Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act and Great Lakes Protection Act would be a mistake.

This Bill serves to erase all of the hard work which went into protecting the environment and our workers in Ontario. Why would we jeopardize our environment and people in the name of making money. As a citizen of Ontario I strongly disagree with this Bill.
