This Bill is short-sided and dangerous. Preserve the greenspace for farmland and natural habitat and retrofit land that has already been developed in order to improve human habitats!
Let's keep enforcing regulations that protect our health, our heritage, and the environment instead of removing them to make the 1% more wealthy. I don't think that having the support of less than two-fifths of Ontario voters should give our leaders the power to put our lives at risk.
Over the last two decades Ontario has developed a well thought out and comprehensive environmental safety net. This bill would rip major holes into this protection. In the 90s when Mike Harris was in government there were little environmental protection laws and people DIED due to this negligence.

Stop Bill 66.
Don’t let developer to:
Pave over the Greenbelt with factories and sprawling subdivisions.
Ignore the laws that protect our clean and safe drinking water.
Threaten the protection of Lake Simcoe and the Oak Ridges Maraine.

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.
I oppose Bill 66 as it relates to Schedule 10, i.e. Allow municipalities to permit the use (i.e., zone the lands) without having to strictly adhere to existing local requirements (e.g., official plan and zoning);
Remove the application of a separate approval process for site plan control;

Bill 66 — specifically Section 10 — makes it too easy for municipalities to bypass a number of Acts that were put in place to protect our environment, including the Greenbelt and Lake Simcoe.

I am writing to ask you to remove Schedules 5 and 10 from the proposed Bill 66, Restoring Ontario's Competitiveness Act, 2018. These sections needlessly threaten essential health and safety protection for Ontario residents. Schedule 5 repeals needed controls on toxic substances.

This bill is for people who don’t drink water or breathe air. Please consider the cost to health of future generations and the exorbitant price to clean up pollution that would be caused by this short sited bill.
Do not pass this bill.
I am completely outraged at the proposed Bill 66 and the government that did the proposing. With Doug Ford heading it, it does not surprise me. He hasn’t changed.

Economic development should not take presidence over the environment. Are we learning nothing from the dire warning we are receiving about the state of our environment. Having a great economy will do nothing for our children and grandchildren if they can not live full and healthy lives.

I do NOT support Bill 66, as it threatens to erode our environment, human health, and democracy. Once we degrade our environment there is no going back, and I do not support short term profits over the long term sustainability of our communities and our planet for all.
There are no 'barriers to planning' - there are regulations which serve to ensure that valuable and important environmental, cultural, landscape, wildlife and heritage issues are given the full weight they deserve. These planning considerations affect the well-being of all residents of Ontario.
