I am very concerned about Schedule 10 of Bill 66. Removing red tape for the purposes of development should never ever override environmental concerns. The existing environmental laws were put in place with much consultation and thought.

I would like to register my opposition to Bill 66. Environmental regulations are not political vestiges of previous administrations and other parties. They are necessary for the health of people in this province.

We value our protected green spaces and, in Ontario, there are many places that are open for business that are not on protected environmentally sensitive lands.
Please take all steps possible to continue their protection and not to open them to the degradation of non-reversible development.

I object to Bill 66. It does not reflect my vision for the land. Ontario farmland is important to our health and the health and sustainability of our economy.
1. It affects every municipality in Ontario. Bill 66 allows municipalities across the province to create “open-for-business by-laws” that would trump critical legal requirements to protect water, natural heritage, farmland and human health and well-being.

I was and still am shocked to see the current Ontario government wanting to open up the green belt for business. As is I already believe that urban sprawl especially in southern Ontario is out of control.

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.

Bill 66 - An Act to restore Ontario's competitiveness by amending or repealing certain Acts - is an astonishingly undemocratic piece of proposed legislation that further demonstrates the current Ontario Government's' full-on attack on the environment.

Bill 66 allows any municipality to override the laws that protect our water, agriculture, and natural areas without any public meetings, notice to impacted land owners, or consultations.

I completely and whole heartedly oppose this Bill. This is not in the best interest of the common good. Use of this by-law could put drinking water at risk, and cause environmental degradation that will come with high costs in the future.

The proposed Bill 66 takes away protections on the Green Belt, clean water, daycare regulations that protect children, protections for farmers, pensioners, and more. I am STRONGLY opposed to these measures.
Bill 66 is not in the interest of Ontarians. We need to protect our water supply from contamination for present and future generations. We need to protect our woodlands and wetlands for species at risk and for our own spiritual and physical wellbeing.
