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 environmental and health risks are too high.

I request that Schedule 10 be removed from Bill 66 - protect the greenbelt. I would prefer that the core areas of the community affected around the green belt. There is to much urban development which is reducing valuable habitats for wildlife. Protect the undeveloped areas.
