I am writing to you to ask that you protect the Greenbelt and therefore call back legislature and introduce a new Bill 66 that stops the attacks on the Greenbelt, Oak Ridges Moraine, Lake Simcoe, Source Water Protection Areas and other important protected farm and natural areas to development.

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. These protections are not inefficient, ineffective, or out of date...

I do NOT support Bill 66. The impact we make on the environment today will result in negative consequences for generations to come. This bill is a threat to human life and to democracy, as it puts the needs of businesses over the needs of living beings.

If you haven’t accepted that we share this world with an extremely large number of species, whose existence benefits the entire eco system, then you have sadly been misguided.

Bill 66 was introduced in December to open our Green Belt for development, which will put 2 million acres of natural areas, habitats and wetlands at risk of development.

My family immigrated to Ontario in 1953 from England. Within a year (October 1954) Toronto and surrounding area was hit by one of the worst storms in our history, Hurricane Hazel.

Ontario has a rich history of occupation that dates back more than 12,000 years. The archaeological assessments completed each year in advance of development help fill in the gaps in the story of our Province, Indigenous Peoples and more recent settlers.

I am appalled at the introduction of Bill 66 to promote business development at the expense of the environment and wildlife. I do not agree with proposed amendments to the Planning Act as set out in Bill 66, the Restoring Ontario’s Competitiveness Act.

I am opposed to this bill because of the potential threat it poses to our water supply and green belt. The government has a responsibility to safeguard these resources for future generations. This shortsighted bill fails to guarantee this.
This proposal favours the corporations only..it dismisses the importance of environment when it is the environment, and their protective procedures that must remain as precedence in all types of development..

PLEASE!

This act is short-sighted and ill-conceived. It will benefit corporations and their executives while imposing long-term costs on others. In particular, Schedule 5 will encourage relaxation of pollution controls and increase the risk of exposure to toxic chemicals for people and other organisms.

The greenbelt is a key differentiator for businesses and individuals planning on investing in the golden horseshoe region of Ontario. Maintenance and preservation of these resources make long-term sense for Ontario and its residents.

Any reduction to regulations regarding health and safety and the environment is endangering our communities and the future that our children will inherit. Removing articles 4, 5, and 10 would be considered prudent.
