Instead of loosening regulations on the number of children allowed in a child-care setting, increase subsidies to allow higher pay for childcare workers, making it a viable career choice, and subsidize low-income families so they can go to work knowing their children are well looked after.

This Bill is an unprecedented and unacceptable attack on provisions that currently safeguard public health, protect our environment and provide overall safety in our municipalities. Bill 66 allows for development for residential and factory purposes over Greenbelt areas. Read more

I strongly disagree with this proposal. We need to think long term and keep the green belt for future generations to benefit from. Let’s look at progressive countries to see how they are creating new jobs, keeping and actually planting new greenspaces.

Look, I am all for good business practice and laws that allow them to make profits. I do NOT want any of our drinking water or green areas or protected areas to be opened up for business to plunder. They are protected for a reason. Read more

Approval of Bill 66 goes against everything ontario and Canada as a country stands for. We are considered a safe haven for people all around the world. We accept refugees with loving and open arms, and give citizens new and old, a chance at a beautiful safe, clean life. Read more

As a working planner in consulting with a long career in urban and regional planning ahead of me, the implications of Bill 66 for the greenbelt, water contamination and managing growth in Ontario is a frightening and a step backwards for Ontario. Read more

I feel strongly that the Province should 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. Read more

This bill is deeply flawed and under no circumstances should it be allowed to proceed. It is a craven attempt to roll back decades of well-constructed protections built into our law, simply to allow a group of politically-connected opportunists to seek personal profit at public expense.

Please do not pass Bill 66. If enacted, this Bill would repeal the Toxics Reduction Act and amend multiple provincial statutes, including the Planning Act. Under Schedule 10 of Bill 66, municipalities can pass "Open for Business" planning by-laws aimed at attracting new major development. Read more

I do NOT support Bill 66, as it threatens to erode our environment, human health, and democracy. Schedule 10 of Bill 66 would allow municipalities to create an “open for business planning by-law” to allow developers to ignore environmental laws and protections that are in place for a good reason.

I strongly object to the elements of Bill 66 that would allow municipalities to ignore environmental restrictions such as the Greenbelt. Our waterways, green spaces, forests, and farms are vital to the continued environmental resilience of our province. Read more
