If Bill 66 passes, it will be irresponsible and damaging for everyone. The proposed bill would allow for incredible abuse by industrial organizations, and could cause irreparable damage to the environment and Ontario communities.

CORRECTION re Comment ID19949: Regarding my previous comment on the protection of Ontario's Greenbelt: I do not want to stop Bill 66. I only want Schedule 10 of Bill 66 removed.
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 greenspace is crucial to our health and wellbeing now, and in the future. It is critical that we do nothing that will jeopardize the protected greenspace areas that Conservative, Liberal and NDP governments have worked to keep green over the past 50 years.

I do not support Bill 66. It overrides a number of hard-won and vitally important environmental Acts that for over 20 years have responded to real risks to human and other life and health in the province, for eg., the Clean Water Act.

I urge you to reconsider this overly hasty piece of legislation, especially Section 10 regarding the environment. Short term gain does not compensate for the potential damage to our environment and most especially our water supply.
I am writing to express my dismay about the recklessness of Bill 66. The regulations that it is proposing to repeal are essential to protecting the health and well being of the citizens of Ontario.

I support economic development in Ontario, but not at all costs. We need opportunities that deliver economic value, as well as social and environmental values.

I am against Bill 66 in allowing the open for business by-laws. Part of this new bill will not allow protection of our water, natural heritage, farmland and human health and well-being. It threatens our access to safe drinking water across Ontario.

I am concerned about some of the changes proposed in Bill 66, in particular the intention to open the greenbelt to development. I strongly oppose a provision in the proposed legislation that would allow for development on land within the greenbelt surrounding the GTA and adjacent regions.

I’m dearly concerned with habitat loss and fragmentation and the quality of headwaters. As a citizen of Ontario I have always supported government legislated green spaces.

It is so disappointing that Premier Ford is reneging on his election promise to protect The Greenbelt. These areas are crucial to sustaining wildlife, flora & fauna, protecting fertile farmland. It cannot be overstated that green space provides crucial assistance to the ecosystem.

I do not support this bill rolling back environmental protections, in order to sell our resources to the highest bidder.
We need to move towards behaving more symbiotically with our environment.
