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 oppose Bill 66 both as a region resident and as a person who supports the ongoing health of our environment. The government needs to review planning and development to confirm that it is doing so safely.
These are just a few points I want to highlight on why Bill 66 should NOT go through They are taken from https://environmentaldefence.ca/2018/12/17/stop-bill-66/

The consequences of this Bill could be devastating. Schedule 10 opens a back door to developing the Greenbelt, gutting hard-earned drinking water and environmental protections. It threatens drinking water and farmland across Ontario.

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.

Bill 66 may create some jobs in the short term, but by letting speculators and developers destroy built heritage, you are destroying future jobs.

With regard to Bill 66, I am deeply concerned that plans to cut "red tape" to encourage business development in Ontario will put our environment (especially fresh water resources and the Greenbelt), and therefore the health and safety of all Ontarians, at risk.

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 completely disagree with the premise of the bill in its entirety. Conservation of natural areas, protection of our water, regulation of our daycares are all much more important than making Onatio more "competitive". We need to value safety and sustainability before money.

As a resident of Richmond Hill, we value our protected green spaces, and in Ontario there are many places that are open for business that are not on protected environmentally sensitive lands. I object in having an part of this green space developed for the sake of our future.
I am NOT in favour of Bill 66. Our Greenbelt is not open for business...the whole point was, and is, to protect it. Undoing the protection of green spaces puts our ecosystem - fresh water, wildlife, farmland (farmers - ergo, local economy) in a precarious position.

Friends of Muskoka (FOM) has serious concerns with two Schedules of proposed Bill 66 – Schedules 5 and 10 – which we believe will facilitate development that could cause irreparable damage to the environment that drives the economy in the District of Muskoka.

This bill is insane and rolls back all the progress made by hardworking people who care out our children and the future of the province and the world.
