Please put this bill through the shredder! We have so little green space left for our kids to enjoy, something like this bill could see the last the green space lost!! Stop thinking of the quick dollar, and think of the future of our green space before it's to late.......
It is crucial that the government protect our green spaces and water and not open them up to business concerns. There are plenty of places and spaces for business that do not threaten protections of all that sustains our province, country , world.
Clean water and protection of green spaces/environment is more important than anything else in Ontario. We can be “open for business” and not threaten these. There’s plenty of spaces/currently vacant developed lands that can be utilized.

On behalf of the Ontario Association of Professional Archaeologists (APA) we wish to express our deep concerns regarding Bill 66 and in particular the open-for-business by-law contained within the bill which would allow municipalities to opt-out of a range of provisions included in the planning act

I implore the government to stop Bill 66. This bill stands to eliminate environmental protections which keep our drinking water safe, harmful pollutants out of lakes and limits industrial sprawl in the Greenbelt. The Greenbelt is home for farmland, forests, watersheds and wetlands.

I am absolutely and fundamentally opposed to any over-arching legislation that enables anyone (government, municipality, individuals) to act in opposition to or to ignore important laws passed by the Legislature of Ontario WITH THE SUPPORT OF ONTARIANS.

As a senior resident of Ontario, I am opposed to any changes in Bill 66 that would give developers exemption from rules which have protected the citizens of Ontario in the Clean Water Act.

Whether "you believe" the government's intention may is "to make it easier for businesses to navigate the complex system of development approvals" helping businesses looking for sites, and meeting certain prescribed provincial criteria to qualify for streamline approvals is exactly what WE DO NOT

The Ford Administration brands themself as the government of the people. Bill 66 allows for a number of provisions that will seriously undermine the physical and mental health and wellbeing of Ontarions.

There is nothing more precious or important than clean drinking water. The Clean Water Act was introduced in 2006 as a response to the Walkerton Tragedy, when contamination of a drinking water source by E.coli resulted in 7 deaths and thousands falling ill in Walkerton, Ontario.

I do not support Bill 66. I am a resident of Ontario and stand by the legislations that protect our fragile natural environment including but not limited to the areas in and around the Great Lakes and the Greenbelt.

I am fully opposed to Bill 66. I believe that the repercussions of opening up the green belt are far too dire mainly due to environmental reasons. But not only environmental, we want to build compact and complete communities and avoid sprawl. This will lead to more traffic. No one likes traffic!!!

We do not support the Conservative Provincial Party proceeding with Bill 66. At a time when climate change is becoming increasingly obvious in our world, we ALL need to take steps to protect our drinking water, natural resources and agricultural treasures. Once gone - gone forever.
