This is a thinly veiled attempt to increase urban sprawl across southern Ontario. Ford says he won't touch the Greenbelt, but his plans are too vague to ensure that happens. Natural land use must not be developed as the ecosystem is already at its limit.

I am not in favour of Schedule 10 in Bill 66. We need provincial oversight of a environmental region that provides benefits across multiple municipal jurisdictions. The Green Belt is a beneficial commons that extends beyond municipal boundaries.

Do not weaken the Greenbelt because it protects the beauty, ecological vitality, and agricultural base that makes the GTA a place people want to live and build businesses in.
Bill 66 does not guarantee that our precious farmlands, wildlife, and wetlands will not be touch for the sake of commercial and residential growth. Densification is needed not sprawl.

I am strongly opposed to any legislative changes that would weaken environmental protection or allow municipalities to opt out of existing regulations. Fragile environments all across Ontario need to be protected now and in the future.

As an Ontario citizen since 1977 and professor emeritus of psychology with a specialty in community well-being, I urge you to 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 Ac

Hi,
I don’t want the Greenbelt - home to 5,500 farms, 78 species at risk and 102 million tonnes of carbon storage - carved up with new factories and subdivisions.

I feel strongly concerned regarding Schedule 10 of this Bill, and the danger of providing encouragement to local municipalities to bypass environmental regulations currently in place, relative to the Greenbelt, farmland, and clean water.

Preserving the greenbelt is critical to preserving the ability of watersheds in southern Ontario to produce clean, safe drinking water and recharge the water supplies.

Doug Ford and his Conservative party needs to leave Ontario ALONE - we were doing just fine without the interference that this government has unleashed on so many issues since they came to power and this violation of the Green Belt is another place that they need to LEAVE ALONE - enough already...
The Ontario Greenbelt is a world-renowned biosphere. We have a unique, beautiful part of the world in our backyard and this requires responsibility and strong leadership to defend from those who would wish to exploit it.

The Greenbelt allows everyone in the GTA to make a choice of where they would like to live and work. Being that the bulk of the jobs in Ontario are located in Toronto, anyone can still live in the country and work in the city.

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.
Protect the greenbelt, and the people, plants and animals that live there.
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.

As a young person born and raised in Halton, the Greenbelt needs to be protected from urban sprawl. Not only because real estate and the cost of living in my home community is unaffordable for young canadians.

Anything less than leaving all existing wild spaces as they are is folly. Many scientists have actually argued we need to leave about 1/2 of the planet completely untouched by human infrastructure to even approach a sustainable lifestyle for billions of people.
