This bill will weaken and perhaps devastate the environmental protection of the green belt. Protect the Moraine and its diverse environment. Ontarians care passionately about preserving our green space. So much of our lives here rest on preservation and stewardship.
I find it appalling that you are proposing to open up the green spaces for development. Anyone with knowledge of environmental issues knows we require green spaces to maintain healthy environments.

By eliminating the Toxics Reduction Act and allowing for development under Schedule 10 of Bill 66 that ignores important environmental measures, these proposals eliminate the regulations that are meant to protect the very people whom these government claims to be “for”.

I think it is important to protect the greenbelt.
For farms, food and water security and protection.
The green belt forces us to come up with ways to increase density in existing built up areas.

Please do not build on all our good farm land, destroy animal habitats or continue to make this beautiful country incedingly more depressing to live in. There must be a way to move forward economically and keep the beauty of trees, animals and people.
Government regulation to protect clean air, water and greenbelt areas is not red tape. It must be a guaranteed right for all Canadians and not subject to whims of an elected leader to be able to erase years of work with a stroke of the pen.
I am concerned that the removal of regulations from construction will lead the the damaging of Ontario's heritage through the damage and destruction of archaeological sites. Once damaged, such sites cannot be recovered; this will lead to the erasure of aspects of Ontario's rich history.

We (my family) do not support bill 66! A bill that overrules laws that have been put in place to protect Ontarians, our health, water, farmland, green space, wildlife and natural heritage is scary and infuriating!

Do not endanger regulations and laws protecting Ontario's natural areas, farmlands, drinking water and our protection from toxic chemicals.
There is no business development that could possibly justify putting any of these systems at risk.

Bill 66 is a threat to the carefully constructed plans that protect the environment of Ontario, as well as workers, children, and the wellbeing of this province as a whole.

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. Ontario has plenty of places to develop inside the Greenbelt.

This is just another example of grouping together "good sounding" changes in order to pass really bad changes to regulations that protect people and the environment.

Bill 66 is shameful and horrific! Schedule 5: to repeal the Toxics Reduction Act is appalling, without it we are looking at a potential for a repeat of the Walkerton tragedy. What are you thinking!

This Bill is not good for the people of Ontario. We need the green belt in tact to keep our food supply secure, our water clean and our province beautiful.
