Hello Micheal Helfinger,
I do not support bill 66. Schedule 10 . We do need to protect our land and water from development! This bill would give the municipalities too much power to destroy this. Also the public will have no say in the matter,and this is wrong.
Kind Regards, Melinda
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.
I am against Bill 66
Schedule 1 will have devastating effects on drinking water, and protection of farmland and greenspaces, and likely erode the Clean Water Act, the Great Lakes Protection Act and the Greenbelt Act.
Schedule 5 also will have devastating effects on all of the above.

It seems you need a law degree to be able to decrypt all that is at stake. I strongly support transparency and the use of popular terms that can be understood by the general public for these documents.

I am deeply horrified that any government would consider weakening environmental protections at a time in our human history when only the implementation of much greater environmental protections can save us from complete disaster as a species.

I’m writing to voice my strong opposition to this legislation, which would rollback decades worth of good, evidence-based, and common-sense environmental protections in Ontario.

I am extremely concerned about provisions being put forth in the Conservative government's proposed Bill 66, a bill which was introduced with no public consultation and little regard for our Province's natural and cultural heritage.

I think that this Bill is making a false trade-off - that environmental regulation is detrimental to Ontario's economy. A healthy environment means we have healthy people, ecosystems and areas that people want to come visit.

While I don't support Bill 66 and beleive most if not all of it should be scrapped cheif among these is schedule 10. We should not under any circumstances open up our water ways and the greenbelt to developers like this would allow.

That will result in increased housing costs to consumers and increase profits to landlords.
We should be making housing more affordable.

This Bill must not pass! If business cannot operate within the guidelines that protect the environment then they should not be in business at all. Any future development needs to be carbon neutral is not carbon negative.
This is a mess. Ford promised he'd leave the greenbelt alone, but here we are looking at opening it up for industrial development again :/
That's saying nothing about deregulating the drinking water & the great lakes.

This Bill is a detriment to the Ontario Green Belt, and the public, and only supports corporate greed. This is not a feasible solution to job or other issues. The Ford Government should be ashamed of themselves.
I am opposed to this legislation. It is important that we protect the Greenbelt and protect our water resources. We cannot let these precious resources be destroyed because we are not creative enough to come up with other solutions to keep our province running smoothly.
