Extremely worried that this bill will negatively impact what is left for of any green space in the region. Corporate greed cannot be made more important than clean water and clean air.
We need strong protection for our lakesand forests so we can continue to have good ecological health.
Any development inside of the greenbelt would be detrimental to the environment. Please do not allow any development and do not open the greenbelt for business. Our future generations depend on you.
This is NOT a good idea...
The Provincial Government NEVER included this(the deliberate gutting of environmental protections for PROFIT) in their Election platform... they would NOT have managed to get elected..
Just because you can....doesn't mean you should....
Shame, Shame, Shame...
The green belt and legislations on environmental protections are there to make sure we have a province in the future. I know this government is not really caring what the little folk say, but by passing this bill you are destroying tourism in many places.

This is a horrible idea, we need to make Ontario competitive but not at the expense of our environment. Our water sources will be jeopardized and the tourism that Lake Simcoe provides (over $2M) will be at risk.

As a member of the Mississauga Lakeshore riding and concerned citizen, I would like to voice by concern for the wellbeing of Ontario farmers, ecological services and the future of Ontario's local food sustainability.

I am in favour of Bill 66. There have been too many restrictions and regulations imposed on municipalities regarding planning, zoning and development.

A balance must be found between economic development and the environment. If this bill is passed it will cause a negative effect on the ecosystems that we rely on for not only the recreational activities that bring our city life, but it threatens human health.
I understand Bill 66 includes wording that will reduce the protections or the strength of protections for environmentally sensitive lands in Ontario. This is appalling.

The changes in these laws will cause workers to work unlimited hours, which will cause them to be injured and die on the job. Doug Ford wants Ontario workers to die prematurely . Doug Ford has forgotten that workers are people Doug Ford is for the people Therefore he will scrap this whole bill.

This act gives municipalities too much power by allowing them to permit development on the Greenbelt. The Greenbelt is extremely important in preserving important ecosystems, wildlife habitat, prime agricultural land, protecting groundwater and surface water, and curbing urban sprawl.

We have worked too hard preserving our Forests and water ways in Ontario to basically shit on it like this.
Please no. I think we love our cottage country too much to allow this bill to pass.

If Bill 66 is passed, industry will be able to bypass drinking water source protections under the Clean Water Act. This change would weaken critical protections passed in response to the Walkerton tragedy, in which contaminated drinking water killed seven people and made thousands of people ill.

I do not support this bill which will bypass current legislation that is there to protect our environment.
From this governments performance to date I absolutely do not trust it with Ontario’s environment. I think it has business interests ONLY in mind.
For SCHEDULE 10: Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, there is an immense issue with loosening development laws for the Ontario Green Belt.

There is nothing out of date about these regulations. They were passed after long and serious consultation with EXPERTS in order to preserve farmland, water, and the future of Ontario. Putting "business" ahead of the environment is the attitude that is inefficient and out of date.
