Dear Mr. Michael Helfinger,
I am writing to provide comments on Bill 66 for the Ministry's consideration, specifically with regards to Schedules 3, 5 and 10.
Schedule 3: Ministry of Education

Bill 66 is largely incomprehensible and seems to be lacking in details. There is not enough time allowed to let citizens know what is involved and be consulted. Please clarify the contents of this bill and let us know how we will all be better served by it.

I commend Ontario Govetnment for taking step forward to the-evaluate the existing land use policy. It is obvious that the exuding planning act and zoning mechanisms are not effective. The rights to decide on the land use should go to the municipalities and to local communities.

I am opposed to many of the cuts in services that are being proposed though Bill 66. Regulation provides important protections for society and should not be abandoned to make it easier for business.

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.
Protect the Greenbelt! Please protect the Greenbelt to ensure the well-being of people and wildlife as you promised during your election campaign! The future of Ontario’s Greenbelt is currently at risk with the introduction of Bill 66.

In the last decade I have lived in both Hamilton and Sudbury, two cities supported by industrial complexes that helped Ontario to thrive economically and provided sustainable jobs for the community.

Bill 66 does not have my support. Of particular concern is the reduction of toxic controls that were made to protect our collective health and the changes to employee management that will undermine worker security.
The MMAH/Planning Act Changes proposed in Bill 66 are regressive and endanger not only human and environmental health but also the long-term health of our economy.

This bill is problematic for several reasons, but most importantly does not in any way recognize current science and how removing some of the current restrictions will erode our already precarious environment.

Many of the repeals and proposed deregulations are short-sighted. I'm not opposed to considering any required updates to regulations as they age, however I do not trust that the current government will have the safety and well-being of the people as their core goal.

I think this bill is absolutely awful and is completely erasing all the efforts that have been put in place for environmental sustainability. The environmental degradation that will result of this is a consequence we will all suffer, merely to please the interest of a few.

I am opposed to Bill 66 and all the proposed subsections/by-laws that threaten Ontario's clean water, wetland, farmlands and natural areas. I oppose that developers no longer have to post public notice about proposals in our neighbourhoods. I oppose the secretive nature of this gigantic bill.

Although the intent of this bill is to increase jobs and Ontario’s competitiveness, I believe the repercussions will have negative effects in many areas, especially the environment.

The Green Belt is good for the economy. It’s good for protecting fresh water. It’s good for the production of local food. It’s good for our children’s future. It needs to be protected. Don’t cave to pressure from developers.
