I strongly oppose Bill 66. I am deeply concerned about our provincial govermnemnt’s flippant and greedy attitude towards our environment. I’ve had enough. I oppose “Ford Nation”, and I oppose Bill 66.

I am very concerned that our precious greenbelt will not be protected. Facing increasing extreme weather it is important to keep land undeveloped to better handle events such as flooding. We need to protect our farmland as it is very difficult to get it back once developed.

I urge the government to keep their 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 to develop

I urge the Government not to pass Bill 66 as written. I am concerned that its potential to endanger drinking water, the GreenBelt and the Great Lakes will ultimately discourage business. As a Guelphite, I join our City Council who unanimously oppose the Bill.

I find some of the content of this bill very objectionable, particularly Schedules 9 and 10. Schedule 9 could clearly lead to abuse by business owners. How is the posting of the Labour Standards Act poster a major administrative issue.

The Greenbelt MUST STAY INTACT. With the coming crisis in the food supply chain due to climate change and floods/droughts etc not to mention climbing transport costs, Ontario should be agriculturally self sufficient. There is considerable brown lands available for development.

As a devoted member of the Ontario community, I do not approve of the Bill 66, or the proposed "Open for Business" act that allows development in Ontario's greenbelt and sensitive areas.

Bill 66 is a bad idea. People need green space to retain their sanity. Wildlife need swaths of green space to retain their existence. We shouldn't pave the green belt!
The current governing party and it’s leader was elected on the promise not to open the Ontario Greenbelt to new development other than those uses (primarily agricultural or agribusiness related) allowed by The Greenbelt Act of 2005.

As a long time Lake Simcoe property owner in Oro Medonte, I am extremely concerned about the negative effects of Bill 66, in particular Schedule 10, and its impact on the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan. I am therefore requesting that Schedule 10 of Bill 66 be removed.

These changes raise some huge concerns for safety and would give too much autority to municipalities with few safeguards.
Many questions are raised .. the wording is vague.
Ie schedule 3 .. were not the limits on number of children set for safety reasons?

My husband and I plead with the government to reconsider this incursion into the Green Belt. Our progressive century family farm is in the region of the 401/403 junction and we hope you would instead EXPAND the Green Belt to twice its current size along the 401 corridor.

Please don't let people that do not care about the environment to have a say in the not so many places that are still an oasis of greenery and peacefulness, not many of those. Regulations are important to stop development design for some to make money and not worry at all about communities.

"Bill 66 would turn back the clock on many years of good planning, community input and strong leadership from governments of all political stripes.

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.
