I have major concerns about schedule 5 in this bill. Repealing the Toxic Reduction Act is a step backwards and jeopardizes the water we drink. Have we not learned anything from Walkerton?

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 concerned that Schedule 10 of the Open for Business act will allow municipal governments to ignore multiple pieces of environmental legislation and that the public will not be informed about By laws until after they are approved.

While I completely acknowledge the need for development and growth, Canada deserves a path to success that doesn't pay with environmental and heritage damage.

The Greenbelt provides essential ecosystem service that once lost, will not easily be replaced. This bill will decimate protections for services that support the lives and livelihoods of Ontarians.

The proposed Bill 66 threatens the Province of Ontario's Greenbelt. It opens for development our historic woodlands, our wetlands, our natural areas, our places and protections for specific species to build habitat and our fast dwindling, receding and disappearing farmlands.

I object to the loss of Greenbelt protection with this bill. With minimal employment gains promised developers become exempt from constraints in building in the Greenbelt. Once this treasure is lost, no amount of money can buy it back.

Leave the Greenbelt alone! This beautiful province of ours needs important green spaces that are permanently kept out of the hands of developers. The Greenbelt is extremely important in terms of watershed and wildlife habitat protection.

Please do not remove schedule 10 re the greenbelt. The greenbelt is very important for everyone including farmers, wildlife and Canadian citizens. We do not want to be overrun by urban sprawl, industrial greed and environmental depletion of the land, waterways and wilderness.

The "Open for Business" bill is a misnomer. Ontario has always been open for business.
The term "Red Tape" is imprecise and emotive. It is not appropriate for a government bill. A more appropriate term might be "Administrative Procedures".

The Greenbelt is a vital part of this province; one that provides much needed green space, watershed, hinterlands and outdoor activity space. Repealing any protection for the sake of development is shortsighted and leaves us all unprotected.

Hello Mr. Ford, et al,
We need the greenbelt for food production and to maintain the genetic diversity in the surrounding areas, also required for food production. California is no longer as reliable as a source of food due to prolonged drought.
The greenbelt adds to our quality of life.
