I have a number of concerns regarding Bill 66. As a resident in both rural and urban areas I have seen the effects of poor management and control over environmental concerns, particularly with respect to safe drinking water, the water tables (quarries, industry, selling water etc).

I am writing to register my strong opposition to Bill 66. It is despicable of this government to ram through such a piece of legislation on such short notice, covering such a wide range of important matters.

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.

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.

-Remove schedule 10 and schedule 5 from Bill 66.

Bill 66 removes many protections "For the People" of Ontario to keep us save from irresponsible development and activities.
Save Ontario lives from disasters such as Walkerton caused by the lack of regulations as removed by a prior PC government.

I'd like to share my disagreement with the proposed Bill 66. I feel the negative impacts it will have on our environment, water security, air, and health are far greater than the proposed competitiveness gain.
