This proposed bill will set the stage for urban sprawl to expand beyond what is acceptable. It will not save tax payers dollars - as the current leaders suggest. I stand firm in my opposition to this bill, and hope you will reconsider the environmental impact it will have.
I think it is good to pursue just, fair, safe and equitable efforts to make Ontario a competitive place to work and do business. I also support protecting Ontario's Greenbelt because of the valuable natural green spaces that are protected within.

The Greenbelt is extremely valuable as a natural conservation area, NOT as a receptacle for more development. The Conservative Party has already done immeasurable damage to the environment. Our province, wild areas and human lives can't tolerate any more.

I strongly object to the assaults on the environment orchestrated by this, Ford's Conservative Party, currently holding power in this province.
Your ongoing promotion of regressive positions are doing great harm to the environment and the interests of the middle and working classes of Ontario.

I am very concerned about the idea of cutting "red tape" being used to weaken environmental regulations in Ontario, and call on the government to remove Schedule 10 from Bill 66, which allows municipalities to override provisions in the Greenbelt Act, Clean Water Act, Lake Simcoe Act, Oak Ridges Mor

I fail to see how destroying the beauty of our province by allowing access to the greenbelt will lead to a healthy future for our province.
Good business always is concerned for more than just the bottom line.
And that’s the bottom line.
Protect the greenbelt.
Please keep full environmental assessments in place. These assessments are not "red tape". They protect out resources including prime farmland and drinking water. Previous cuts resulted in walkerton. Do not repeat this.
I have deep concerns about Bill 66, Restoring Ontario’s Competitiveness Act, 2018. Bill 66 overrides essential components of provincial laws and policies that protect our water, farmland, natural heritage and public health.

I am in strong opposition to the changes that are being proposed in Bill 66. There is too much at stake regarding the greenbelt, wetlands, natural areas, and other environmentally protected areas.

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.
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.
Environmental laws MUST remain in place and must be strengthened and added to in order to protect wildlife and nature which is crucial to our survival. Viable farmland is also critical for our survival and must not be turned into yet another subdivision which we do not need or yet another factory.

Bill 66 is a terrible idea. It's a short-term money grab at the expense of our most precious resource -- the environment. For the sake of our children and grandchildren, it must not be passed.
Please remove schedule 10 from this act. The Greenbelt should not be opened up for development. It is a jewel in Ontario and we should be preserving more land for future generations not opening up natural areas to development.
Bill 66 is a disgusting use of Ontario's protected lands. The Greenbelt--known for its farms, water, and habitats--are critically important to the health of ecosystems across the province.
