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.
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.

As a Canadian and Ontario resident, our heritage is not negotiable. The suggested exceptions making it possible for municipalities to pass "open for business planning by-laws" failing to protect in an absolute manner our cultural and archaeological heritage is NOT to be permitted.

This is opening the door to dismantle the Green Belt. Development and progress do not mean bulldozing trees and farmland for buildings. This is not good for all people of Ontario. It is a sneaky way to disregard the environmental standards we have fought so hard to establish.

This is more like a bill to destroy our land and agriculture and should not be passed. I live in a small town being over run with development, farms closing down and selling land and thousands of houses going up.
