Dear Mr. Helfinger,

Treating environmental protection as "red tape" is totally unethical and outrageous. It endangers not just our current generation of life but future and opens up a dangerous precedent for any protected area.
This bill is dangerous and must be squashed
Please do not interfere with the Greenbelt. It is not a roadblock, it is a barrier; between ourselves and the land that we as citizens have sworn to protect as part of our unwritten agreement at birth. Ontario's economy is strong.

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.

I agree with the Green party. 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.

Please DO NOT pass this bill as is. This Bill would repeal the Toxics Reduction Act and amend multiple provincial statutes, including the Planning Act. I am from the Walkerton area. #neverforget. Lives were lost and people are scared with life-long afflictions from that mess.

don’t want the Greenbelt - home to 5,500 farms, 78 species at risk and 102 million tonnes of carbon storage - carved up with factories and subdivisions.
Developers are greedy and for profit only
Selling off the Greenbelt is so short sighted and, detrimental to our humanity

Please do not undo the valued aspects of Bill 66. Calling the measures, restrictions to corporate greed, is misleading. The greenbelt is crucially important for our food supply, environment and our future.

Everyone knows we must protect our 'green space' for environmental protection.
'Everyone' will admit it and live by it, unless you are getting some financial reward for opening up (aka destroying) our green space.

I have lived in Ontario for 35 years and have a 2 year old daughter. Everyday, I am overwhelmed by the knowledge that global warming is making it harder for people to survive on Earth and the acute awareness that this will jeopardize her life and our future on the planet is very real to me.

The green belt should not be tampered with . The world has been tampered with enough. Ford must be stopped , the green belt should be kept intact and expanded as well. Start building up and not out!!!
He is sooo out of touch with what is truly keeping us alive....
