When will the conservatives learn that we cannot eat money!
We need to be able to sustain ourselves and not depend on the global market.
We need our precious farmlands and watersheds and we need to protect them, for now and for our future generations!
This proposal is totally unsatisfactory and will be an election issue for me. I live in a rural area and do so for many reasons. The most important issue for me is the water table and its preservation. Uncontrolled urban growth is a direct threat to it!

I am totally opposed to legislating any changes to the Greenbelt. We were promised by the PC Government that they would not touch the Greenbelt. This legislation allows others to open Greenbelt areas.

It will very much be affected if Section 10 is included in the proposed bill 66.

Ontario has a rich history of occupation that dates back more than 12,000 years. The archaeological assessments completed each year in advance of development help fill in the gaps in the story of our Province, Indigenous Peoples and more recent settlers. Archaeology gives a voice to many who have

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. It is integral to the futurity of a healthy and just Canada.
We need to protect our green spaces, not open up ways for it to be destroyed. Please stop this Bill for the benefit of our citizens and their children's children.

The Greenbelt needs to remain as is and should not be built on!
In-home childcare should be limited to safety- at minimum proving they have a seatbelt and/or car seat for every child in their care in the case if an emergency.
