You promised not to touch the greenbelt and yet here you go! Regulations are not red tape. They protect us and allow us to control the rate of development and mitigate impacts on communities. There is nothing smart about Bill 66. But I guess it will make money for your developer friends. Read more

Bill 66 is a remarkable concoction of ignorance in action. Supposedly to eliminate red tape, the Ford government is willing to forsake years of careful protections and let Ontario's rural environments be destroyed through the willful disregard of good stewardship.

Thank you for giving the citizens of Ontario an opportunity to comment. With respect to reducing the monitoring of our drinking water in the name of cutting red tape, Please don't! I understand the federal testing is not as thorough as our current provincial process. Read more

Removing rights of cell-ohone/mobile device users, including removing the restrictions on three-year plans and the right to cancel after a year, is onerous: the restrictions were part of bringing Canada up to date compared to the rest of the world. Read more

Please don't allow this bill to pass. As someone who lives with two small children in close proximity to brownfield sites and industrial areas, I'm concerned about what this would mean for the health and safety of my children. Thank you for listening.
