“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.”
There is no reason to put the long term health of Ontario at risk and plunder the Greenbelt. The Greenbelt was protected for a reason, so I don't think we should surrender it to a few corporate lobbyists.

The Act must contain provisions to protect designated green belt areas from development. These areas are necessary to protect the natural environment, species at risk and existing ecosystems.
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.
Thank you.
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.
Neither jobs nor profits nor politics will undo the harm of Doug Ford's 'bull in a china shop' approach to providing work for the unskilled. Only education and foreword thinking will do that.

Opening up the greenbelt is all greed and no sense. The unnecessary nature of this act is all the more galling. The permanence of this decision makes it tragic and the shortsightedness of the government that imposes it will not be forgotten.
Thw green belt is a valuable area of Ontario forest, wildlife, and environmental preservation. Building in this area will destroy ecosystems that are already in danger from population growth and human activity.

As a lifelong resident of Ontario I am very concerned about this governments proposal to provide override powers to municipalities that will essentially negate the protections of several important environmental statutes.

Bill 66 must be defeated or modified. Too much of Ontario's best land is already under buildings or roads and we need to keep whatever green space we have. The time is coming when the only thing we can do to save the people, is to grow our own crops on any land that is not already built on.

Dear Premier,
You really come across as a climate change "ignorer". There is no such thing as a climate change denier because the science is undeniable. Your actions will not appear favourable when looked back on.
This bill completely defeats the purpose of our environmental protections: that no development or employment opportunities should be put above the integrity of the environment. I do not support Bill 66.
Please read Jane Jacob's "The Economy of Cities". Although less known than her seminal "Death and Life of Great American Cities" it is filled with her hallmark vision, clarity and good sense.

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 Greenbelt is our biggest defence against climate change.
Thank you.
Opening up the Greenbelt is wrong. We live in a great province but allowing development to cover up already scarce resources will affect us and future generations forever. Once our fields, lakes, rivers, parks, are gone they are gone. Please don’t allow this to happen.
Please remove Schedule 10: Don’t TOUCH the Green Belt!!! It is actually sending the wrong message at the wrong time, when everyone wants to protect the environment.
