I agree that the Ontario Government should minimize the bureaucratic "red tape" that hinders small business, but not in a way that puts our environment, our water, and the currently protected conservation areas.
I do not agree with the initiatives proposed in Schedule 10.

I do not support Bill 66 particularly where protection of clean water and the green belt is concerned. Doug Ford has gone back on his word regarding ensuring protection of the green belt.
I am incensed and disgusted at how he panders to developers and his friends
Shame on him
I'm a fourth year student of McMaster University, and deeply concerned about the effects of this proposal on the environment and local infrastructure.

The Greenbelt is essential to the health of Ontario's environment. Please 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.
My husband and I are against this bill. It sounds like something Trump would do. To us the GTA is developed enough and growing too fast. Heritage buildings and Natural heritage are disappearing. Others are left to rot. Farmers are selling out for a quick buck.

This is short sighted planning at its finest. Municipalities have spent time and money on creating planning documents that provide a route for development into the future and now the present government is proposing that this be bypassed and done so behind the back of the public.

Schedule 4 reducing control of toxic materials does not create more business but has the potential to create more illness, increase health care costs and environmental clean up costs. It should be removed.

Towns and cities should have the authority and legislative power to make decisions on sustainable growth and the well being and health of the communities they serve.

Erasing History.
I’m writing in opposition to Bill 66 (“Restoring Ontario’s Competitiveness Act,” 2018). The provisions of Bill 66 would circumvent measures taken to protect water, the environment, heritage and Indigenous Rights, to mention but a few.
Provisions of Bill 66 to:

Talk to your circle of friends, colleagues and acquaintances to spread this message. And inform yourselves. Community involvement is so necessary to affect change. Sprawl, gravel extraction and industry is detrimental to our greenbelt.

Thousands of farms will be lost, the price of food will go up while the quality goes down, and there will be more cases of e.coli in our water and food if Bill 66 passes. Think of a better way to expand business in Ontario.
The Bill 66 is completely misguiding and seems to be extremely harmful to the environment. The cutting back of important regulations on the environment will not make the economy better but will only cause the residents of Ontario more harm.

I am vehemently opposed to Bill 66. My main concern is the provision that gives municipalities discretionary power to circumvent existing environmental regulations that are designed to protect natural spaces, farmland and water resources that fringe urban/suburban areas.

Short term gains in exchange for long term pains. I find it extremely disconcerting that this proposal involving deregulation is being touted as a viable and common sense way to open up business in Ontario.

The Greenbelt is an essential part for peace and tranquility. It is where I go to get away from the bustle of the cities and hordes of people. It is also where endangered animals seek refuge. The Greenbelt is not only essential for our mental well being but it is essential for our food systems.
