We strongly oppose bill 66. The premier while running for office said that the greenbelt would be protected. Bill 66 does not protect our farmland, our precious water, does not have respect for the animals who live in our woods. This is not democracy at work.

The "Made in Ontario" environmental plan previously released by this government stresses the importance of trust and transparency. This proposal speaks to neither of those two things.

The Province of Ontario’s proposed Bill 66 allows for provincial intervention to remove or weaken protections on safe drinking water, agricultural lands, and democratic consultation. Further, planning exemptions granted under Bill 66 would not require notification or consultation with residents.

Bill 66 will undermine the need for density in development and will allow for urban sprawl to occur. Development needs to occur only in areas where dense development is already occurring.

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.

Opening our Green Belt for development will put 2 million acres of natural areas, habitats and wetlands at risk of development. Not only will it put many animal species at risk, it will greatly threaten our drinking water with increased exposure to toxic chemicals. Don't let this happen.
I oppose Bill 66. Clear explanation of the reason for these changes should be provided.
Changes to childcare standard could easier lead to abuse and quality of care.
This legislation would be a disaster for the future of Ontario's children and the environment.
Important safeguards that have been developed over many years for our water, land and air are being dismantled.
Why?
Another disaster could occur such as the tragedy of Walkerton!!!!
My main concern with Bill 66, are the changes to the Planning Act.
It makes environmental & water related protections, which are there to ensure public health as well as the health of our environment, elective rather than mandatory.

Do not open the greenbelt for development.
No one believes that is a good idea. Not in the interests of building affordable housing, and not in the interest of creating employment. Those are lies.
This is an obvious and irreversible land grab, money grab, and it is ill-advised.

I do not want Bill 66 to remove the protection of the Planning Act and Provincial Policy Statements for significant built heritage resources and significant cultural landscapes anywhere in the province.
I am a property owner living in a Greenbelt protected heritage community. I strongly value the existing protections that limit development and protect the environment. I am opposed to the proposed changes of Bill 66.
