The Greenbelt Act and Ontario Clean Water Act should not be included in Bill 66. Premier Ford has stated twice that he will not allow development of the greenbelt. If that is true, then why it is included in this bill? The only way to truly protect the greenbelt is to exclude it from the bill.

I am deeply concerned that legislation that simplifies "paperwork" and removes barriers, and relaxes requirements will come at a cost to environmental concerns.

My comment is in regards to the absolute responsibility we have as a community, a nation, a planet to take climate change seriously and start making REAL changes to our ways NOW.

Bill 66, removing restrictions for planning and development will endanger head waters leading to Lake Ontario and private sources of drinking water and the removal of any of the green spaces in the Green Belt is a massive step backwards.

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.

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.
It's terrifying that the government is looking to remove laws that were written after the events of Walkerton, Ontario. One of Canada's most humiliating public health disasters. More than 2000 people were made sick, and six people died.

I am strongly opposed to this legislation for a multitude of reasons.
First, I feel that Doug Ford is not holding to his "Promises Made, Promises Kept" slogan of protecting the Greenbelt. I feel that this act is not in the interest of Ontarians but rather serves private developer interests.

I do NOT want to see short cuts surrounding the green belt and Clean Water Act.
Business must STOP trumping the environment. Look at Florida!! Their water is completely polluted, is killing marine life and causing illness in people - and the government is doing nothing about it.

Historically, legislation such as the 14 Acts that will be amended by Bill 66 were enacted in order to protect Ontario’s human population. Many people were appalled when the previous Liberal government amended 19 Acts in order to force through and impose the Green Energy Act O. Reg. 359/09.

I am very, very concerned about this legislation, since we would be putting our air and water at risk. The Greenbelt and the Oak Ridges Moraine are NOT needed for more development, since developers have a great deal of land available to them that is not environmentally important.

Bill 66 appears to be intended to eliminate “red tape” and show that our Province is open for business. While the intention is good there are two parts of the bill that are just plain wrong.
Amendments to the Clean Water Act 2006, Section 7 of the Oak Ridges Moraine Act and the Greenbelt Plan.
