Bill 66 should not allow for development of the Greenbelt. Municipalities should not be given this power. In fact, no government should. I don’t want the Greenbelt - home to 5,500 farms, 78 species at risk and 102 million tonnes of carbon storage - carved up with factories and subdivisions. Read more

I oppose this bill. It gives more power to businesses at the expense of employees / citizens. This bill weakens environmental safeguards at a time that we need to be strengthening them. We need to ensure that we have clean water and do not allow more pollution by weakening regulation and oversight

Everybody knows the dice is loaded in favour of greed. There are diseases of greed and self interest among us as individuals and as nations that are ageless,so much so that we can hardly imagine what the true harmony of the earth sounds like. Quote J Philip Newell Lyric Leonard Cohen

This would be moving in absolutely the wrong direction! Listen to the scientists who know about the environment, including the commissioner you are firing. Try to look beyond the profit of a year or two to the sustainability of the environment for a generation or two.

Bill 66 is only going to put us back from decades of hard work to making the environment a better and safe place. My family does not approve of this bill. The green belt is a place of peace and nature, not one for factories. Read more
