Allowing development within the Greenbelt without the correct consultation & evaluation to direct away from valuable agricultural land will completely destroy Ontario's unique & diverse landscape.

I oppose section 10 of Bill 66, Restoring Ontario's Competitiveness Act. Regulations set out in the Planning Act, the Greenbelt Act, the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act, the Great Lakes Protection Act, the Lake Simcoe Protection Act, the Clean Water Act, etc.

“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.”
PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF OUR ENVIRONMENT
I oppose both section 5 and section 10. Do not implement these two sections. The Earth needs stronger protection not less. This is shown by the precipitous drop in life, for instance in vertebrates and insects.
Urban sprawl is a result of population growth. As a fundamental first the ontario government should take control of immigration as done in quebec and lower immigration to Toronto and the GTA. This would take away some of the incentive for new development.

The proposals to roll back environmental protections are astoundingly shortsighted. The Clean Water Act protects the majority of our drinking water sources.

The world is a completely integrated system. Man is doing its best to upset a natural order. As such Bill 66 is another seriously wrong attempt to remove green space and clean water for all for the enrichment of very few.

I am extremely concerned with the potential of changes to the protection of the headlands and water areas such as the Oak Ridges Moraine and others. The Ford Government stated during the run up to the election that no changes would be made.

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 could be detrimental to the environnement in Ontario. By allowing industries to set up wherever they wish without any repercussion, the green belt and many other important environmental areas in Ontario could be severely damaged.

This bill, especially Section 10, is undemocratic. If you are working for the people of Ontario, they should not be left out of receiving knowledge of issues in their community. (re: Open for Business by-law doesn't require informing the people)
“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.”

I am opposed to many points within Bill 66.
Primarily changing of legal language around our Environment, Clean & Safe Water (Clean Water Act) & Promoting Sprawl in language that states Open For Business and creating jobs as goals.

Wow, there is quite a bit hidden in this one bill. First, The GREEN BELT must be protected. Short term economic gain is not the answer to everything!! Money is not the answer to everything! We NEED to protect some of the last remaining undeveloped green space around the GTA.

I am writing to you to ask that you keep your promise to protect the Greenbelt and therefore call back legislature and introduce a new Bill 66 that stops the attacks on the Greenbelt, Oak Ridges Moraine, Lake Simcoe, Source Water Protection Areas and other important protected farm and natural areas

As a high school student, I will be the one living with the consequences of this Bill and the government's lack of responsibility simply because they are not willing to spend the time or resources to protect our environment.
