Please, stop your attack on environmental laws!
Bill 66 (why not call it Bill 666!), that is what it is, the devil's way of doing things, i.e. destruction of what is good!!
No, the people will not let this happen.
If you pass this bill, you will not be able to sleep at night.

As a resident of Richmond Hill, I believe it is imperative that we protect our green spaces, especially in environmentally sensitive areas like the Oak Ridges Moraine. I am concerned that Bill 66 weakens the legislation in place that protects green space and curtails sprawl.

I'm very much opposed to Bill 66 and anything that would remove or reduce legislation that exists to protect drinking water supplies, farm land or the Greenbelt.

Regarding Bill 66, Restoring Ontario’s Competitiveness Act, I do not support the implementation of Schedule 10 as written. The best way to protect our Greenbelt and the Oak Ridges Moraine is to maintain the current protective Provincial legislation including the Clean Water Act.

I grew up in Richmond Hill, valuing the Oak Ridges Moraine for the great environmental benefits it provides to the GTA through natural water filtration.

I believe this bill is extremely short-sighted and subscribes to the false idea that opening up Ontario for business must come at the expense of environmental degradation. One of the many things that I love about Canada, I love about Ontario, is our green spaces.

When nature is gone, it's gone.
Diminishing the Oak Ridges Moraine is like killing the Golden Goose.
It is short term thinking.
Let's do business wisely.
Let us think of those who come after us. What legacy do we want?

"Remove restrictions on home-based child care providers, including allowing additional children, to make it easier for parents to find affordable child care.
Lower the age of children that authorized recreation programs can serve from 6 to 4."

When government MPPs are saying that Bill 66 does not circumvent protections for water and the greenbelt, they'd better not be lying. I could go into exactly how worried I am that the environment is secondary to "open for business".

We where always competitive, where do you get this outlandish idea that we aren’t competitive. The construction industry that I’ve been in for the last 37 years has always made money, both the companies and the workers.

The open for business act is allowing towns to if environmental legislation that protects Ontarians. I thought Doug Ford was FOR the people of Ontario?
The Greenbelt is an important aspect of our life and community in southern Ontario. We hike, bike and are able to stay fit in part because of the Greenbelt. We love open green areas that we have access to in Ontario. We enjoy living in the GTA - but only because of the Greenbelt.

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.
Thank you.
