I request that you remove schedule 10 from bill 66. Municipalities must not have the right to override the laws that protect the green belt and our clean water. Remember Walkerton! Provincial oversight is necessary.
Omnibus bills like this one worry me. Diverse subjects with wide-ranging impacts lumped together as if they all carry the same weight. They are designed to obscure comment not invite intelligent, fact-based discussion and decision-making.

Ontario needs the Greenbelt. Our people, flora and fauna depend on it for our very survival. Not today, nor tomorrow, but in the years to come. Without nature to sustain us, we will be no more. And all the money made be the corporations will not same them, or us.

Business and Industry should not have priority over the environment. The Greenbelt should remain protected, our lakes and our water supply should also be maintained and protected. The honourable premier has no right to threaten the envionrmental health of Ontario and the safety of Ontario’s water.

It amazes me how some people including politicians who are supposed to act in a balanced way that is good for the people of this country can discount the importance of the environment.

I do not want the Greenbelt opened to development. I do not want Schedule 10 at all. Bill 66 is a classless power grab by Ford and Ford alone, in order to enrich his friends at the expense of every citizen of Ontario.

When it comes to the environment we need to start realizing it’s a matter of public health. Schedule 5 shouldn’t be on this bill. If anything we need to improve not cut.
The Greenbelt is so important. It absorbs carbon dioxide which is crucial in our stand against climate change. It helps with tourism and mental health. It purifies the air and water and contains land with the nutrients for agriculture.

“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 an Ontario resident and voter, I am strongly opposed to Bill 66, which will weaken protections for the environment, and in some cases remove them entirely.

For the last many years, we have been happy to know that the green belt around the GTA is safe. We had no idea that a government can simply change the law in order to have businesses invade this precious space.
