I find it shocking and dismaying that the government and our premier are breaking their promise to protect our Greenbelt. I am vehemently opposed to this bill, which will allow for municipalities to threaten our water and wildlife in the name of rampant and irresponsible development.
I am deeply concerned that waterways, farmlands, and natural lands are threatened by development and environmental deregulation. This is not a constructive, healthy direction for our province.

This is extremely unsettling that the provincial government is throwing out years of good policy that allowed Ontario's natural wealth stay healthy. As life long Ontarian I hope to be able to share this natural wealth with my children.

I would like to voice my strong opposition to Bill 66, particularly section 10 of the Bill which introduces an "Open for Business" by-law tool. "Red tape reduction" and "open for business" are snappy catch-all phrases that are constantly being thrown around by this new government.

Hi,
The beautiful Ontario Greenbelt is home to farmlands, forests, watersheds and wetlands. It helps with reducing the air pollution, a problem that only gets worse in the future. It doesn't only belong to our generation. It is a treasure that we should keep and pass on to the next generations.

Thanks to the Clean Water Act and other water protection acts, Ontario has safe, high quality drinking water. Bill 66 would allow developers to ignore these laws, putting millions at risk.
I urge you to repeal bill 66. This sweeping bill, encompassing so many facets of our lives and well being, is detrimental to the environment, specifically our water, soil and air, (no links required, it's now common knowledge).

Please do not go forward with this bill. The environment is more important than bringing new business to Ontario. Money will be meaningless if we destroy the Earth.

I do not support Bill 66, because of it's threat to human and ecological health. In the words of my four-year-old daughter, "I want to keep the farmland so that me, the bees and the animals have food to eat.

I believe we should be cautious in eliminating legislative protections that are there for a good reason. We must not scrap regulations simply for the sake of scrapping regulations.

To who it may concern, I urge you to 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 find that this bill lacks the foresight to protect municipalities from the actions of their neighbours potentially faulty acts against measures meant to protect us from flooding, water contamination, and providing wildlife corridors through the ability to cater to employers promising rather insig
