Je m'oppose au projet de loi 66 dans son ensemble car il est établi sur des fausses prémisses, celles que les règlements actuels et la reddition de compte sont inutiles alors qu'ils ont souvent été mis en place à la suite d'un incident dont l'Ontario a tiré les leçons, un incident qui a nui à l'inté

I strongly disagree with the proposed Bill 66. The Greenbelt is integral to protecting Ontario's farmland and this Bill is a thinly veiled attempt to gut Greenbelt protections. The Greenbelt protects Ontario farmland, forests, and nature.
