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.

This bill is horrible, it undoes decades of careful planning across Ontario. Time to with withdraw it. We must have safe water, protected farm land and protected areas. The whole reason we have Provincial guidelines and Municipal Zoning it to have rational rationale for development in Ontario.

My wife and I are family doctors in Walkerton with 3 grown children, 2 of whom were toddlers during our towns water tragedy - one of Ontario's most famous environmental disasters in the year 2000. We were close to the youngest (2 1/2 year old) of the Walkerton water fatalities and her parents.
