A lot of this red tape is there for a reason. It provides protection and proper methods of determining the effects of business start ups. If this bill passes as is, the future for the province of Ontario is bleak!

The Green Belt must be protected from development for the benefit of millions in Ontario. Being "open for business" means undermining accountability and transparency, and the Ford government, as a far right institution, cannot be trusted to protect the public good.

I vote NO for Bill 66!
The impact on freshwater throughout Ontario, but specifically in the Golden Horseshoe will be devastating as this legislation opens up all headwaters to potential development.
I am particularly concerned that, under Schedule 5 and Schedule 10, protections for our environment, in particular from toxins and land use, will be gravely hampered. Passing along responsibility to the Federal government regarding toxins is neither responsible not wise.

It is extremely important for the future of all of us in Ontario 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 Act and Great Lakes Protection Act.”

It is essential that we preserve the greenbelt. 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.
Please protect our green spaces from development, especially the Ontario Greenbelt. The natural environment is more important to the health of the planet and its inhabitants than building an airport or more housing and industry.
The Greenbelt is not red tape!
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.

Please do not ignore important environmental concerns for short term financial gains. The government and people of Ontario have a responsibility to future generations to look after the environment so that current and future generations have a healthy environment in which to live and prosper.
I oppose Bill 66 entirely.
The Environment should not be a political football for the current administration to kick around as it pleases.
The Environment is not for sale and it is not a dumping ground in the name of business enterprise and profits.

Not all of Ontario is open for business. Please make sure that the protections we have put in place are observed. We need to protect farmland, endangered species, our waters and the carbon sink we have in place right now. Please do not weaken our environmental protections.
I do not agree with your intent to allow municipalities to override provisions in the Greenbelt Act, Clean Water Act, Lake Simcoe Act, Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act and Great Lakes Protection Act.

Regarding the environment, there are two initiatives that really must be considered - one relating to protection of the Greenbelt, and the other relating to development approvals, specifically filing Records of Site Condition through the Ministry of the Environment.

I do not agree with Bill #66 and furthermore, I am opposed to being more or less required to open/use an account whenever I want to express my opinions on government legislation!

Decimating the Greenbelt or breaking it up in any way would negate its benefits to us and it goes without saying all the species that depend on it to thrive.
Btw...where the h... ARE our insects and birds ?????
