The Geenbelt is not "red tape" that prevents businesses from making a profit. It is the source of our drinking water, our farmland, to 78n species at risk and over 102 million tonnes of carbon storage. We must not carve up our green space for factories and subdivisions. 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 find this bill abhorrent for a couple of reasons and urge the government to defeat it. 1. It completely negates any ability for communities, neighbourhoods or individuals to have input into the businesses or development directly impacting them. Read more

Without farms people don't have food. Without trees our air isn't filtered clean. We need green space for our health now and for future generations. Don't sell green space for profit. Can't get it back once it's gone. Put people first. Ahead of money; we can't eat money.

Omnibus bills like this are an opportunity to slip undesirable legislation through without sufficient debate. The provision to amend the Planning act to allow local councils to override the protection of the Greenbelt farmland, parkland etc. Read more

Proposed changes on this bill are an attack on the environment. Environmental regulations are needed. We can’t let corporations polute how they want. Climate change is real. This Conservative government is run by corporate greed. Read more

I do not support bill 66 due to concerns with the bills impact on protections for clean drinking water. Please do not impact out water protection and going forward strive to put clean water as a key requirement to our future generations via bills passed and government action taken.

I do not support this bill for a multitude of reasons, but most of all out of concern for our environment. This proposal is only considering the economic factors in developing this land, negating the serious impact on the flora and fauna that live in these protected zones. Read more
