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.
We have 112 acres on greenbelt. The original house is from 1815 with an addition. We have been trying to build a single house to move to the farm so our parents can stay there. The town will not let us build. We have had the land since the 50s. The arguments to keep the ban in place are not valid.

I would like to see Bill 66 passed. We need employment lands brought on stream so that Ontario can attract businesses to the Province to provide good jobs for the people.

Having lived next to the protected Green Belt most of my life, I understand the importance of restricting development and preserving it's greenspace. This bill is absolutely unacceptable.
Doug Ford why do you want to turn Toronto into Chicago and Ontario into Illinois. Having lived there I can attest to the blight and poverty that these types of policy amendments will result in.

The regulations that Bill 66 wants to cut are not unnecessary. They help protect Ontarians, and the environment me depend on. We can't afford to lose any more green space. Opening up the Greenbelt to rampant development would not help Ontarians.
I'm outraged that Schedule 10 of the proposed Bill 66 would allow municipalities to bypass existing protections and legislation that I feel are critical to a healthy province. Here is an excerpt from the bill:

Please 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.
Protected should mean “PROTECTED.”
Ontario has a rich history of occupation that dates back more than 12,000 years. The archaeological assessments completed each year in advance of development help fill in the gaps in the story of our Province, Indigenous Peoples and more recent settlers. Archaeology gives a voice to many who have

I am concerned about Bill 66. There are too many parts to this Bill to allow proper review and debate in the time allowed. It should be separated into a series of smaller bills. Each of the regulations mentioned and identified for repeal or modification was put in place for good reasons.

Bill 66 should not allow the changes proposed in the Long Term Care Act. They will endanger resident safety. It should also not allow municipalities to circumvent environmental and other protections, especially of the Greenbelt by allowing development.

It is disconcerting that the government wishes to: “Reduce where operating engineers are required to supervise.”
Or, In layman’s terms – eliminate OE jobs in Ontario. This is rather ironic, this being part of a “jobs creation” initiative.
