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.
This is a horrible idea and I will do whatever I can to stop it from happening.
I find so many issues with this bill. First of all, the bill summary states that they want to cut "unnecessary regulations". Why are regulations unnecessary? Note that many researchers have spent years developing methodology and careful data collection to put these regulations in place.

We must preserve our Conservation lands and Greenbelts to counter urban pollution and to ensure that Ontario is a place not only to work, but also to enjoy and play. Cement and brick are not enjoyable aspects of the environment.

I am writing as an Ontario resident, I live in Toronto, and I am writing as someone who is really coming to know and experience more and more of Ontario’s Green Belt.

Ontario should be open for business -but that does not mean taking prime farmland, drive out the farmers and add factories. Canada is the worlds second largest country and Ontario is a massive province. There is room to protect the Greenbelt AND make more land available for industry, housing etc.

Get real! We don't need more factories or Mcmansions in this area - this is not something that you can replace with a parkette and a plaque saying "this used to be where living things were"

I'm outraged by this plan to put protected lands into the hands of greedy developers.
Enough with selling off OUR stuff at a deep discount to "business friends"!

I am appalled that Bill 66 includes a clause that would allow municipalities to build on the greenbelt. Prior to being elected, Premier Ford told voters this would not happen.

I absolutely disagree with this proposal. The government of Ontario needs to stop serving industry and big business, and put the best interests of the people first.

Part 10 of Bill 66 is a sham to enable the development of the green belt ( and any other area in ontario) making it possible to bypass all protective environmental and other assessment protocols, while leaving the Premier optically at arms length.

In light of the scientific consensus on climate change I believe the Greenbelt trumps "competitiveness". Development money won't save the environment when there's nothing left to save.
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 am tired of politicians working on behalf of corporations instead of the public good.
I do not agree with opening up any of the current greenbelt for any housing/buildings/industries. This is protected land owned by the people of Ontario and should not be sold to private businesses or big developers who will profit from our commonly owned greenbelt.
