I was appalled to read in Schedule 10 of bill 6, the proposal to remove planning barriers to make Ontario "open for business." "Open for spoliation," more like. We need our reasonable safeguards for clean water, clean air and so on.

I am concerned about Schedule 10 of Bill 66. It is great for Ontario to be competitive etc., but not at the expense of lost farmland, water resources and animal habitat. We have all worked long and hard to preserve that as we will need it for our future survival and well-being.

1. Preamble

The earth and its people cannot survive if you take away their source of nutrition, air and water. It does not matter how many businesses we have, if you cannot eat, drink or breath because of contaminated water and soils and a lack of trees which also hold and protect our soils and wildlife.

Please don't open the Greenbelt for development. It is the exact opposite of what we need to do. For our present and future we need to conserve these kinds of places.
