The Kearney Watershed Environmental Foundation has a number of concerns regarding Bill 66, Restoring Ontario’s Competitiveness Act, 2018

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.
Balance is the key to a healthy economy and environment. Ontario should take the best ideas from places that have preserved green space while advancing their economies.

RE: Bill 66
I do not 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.
I am concerned specifically with Schedule 10 allowing municipalities a way to circumvent environmental protection of our greenbelt, fresh water supply and other vulnerable areas. Any changes must protect our environment, regardless of the cost to municipalities.

Thanks for this opportunity. I don’t like this bill because of the lack of protection for the Greenbelt. It matters for much of southern Ontario. Please amend it.

Bill 66 will remove important environmental protections all in the name of "efficiencies" that will ultimately cost Ontario way more than any short term savings that this bill hopes to achieve. Remember Walkerton?

Lambton Public Health respectfully does not support the passing of Bill 66, Restoring Ontario's Competiveness Act, 2018, as it will have potential adverse effects to public and environmental health in Ontario. Please accept the following comments regarding our concerns with this Bill.

Removing schedule 10 from Bill 66 to allow municipalities to circumvent current measure in place to preserve the natural habits and animals would have negative long term effects to our environment.

I think green areas are as much a part of our city as are business, stores. It is not accurate to say that this rule is "Restoring" Ontario's competitiveness. If anything what needs to be retored is our green areas and environmental approaches.

This is awful! How dare they try to ruin and build on our protected land and agriculture. Just another way we as people would be harming and polluting our earth. Please don’t pass this bill.
Do not pass this Bill. We must protect our environment. Look around you, see how precious our lands are. If we don't act now, there won't be any economy to think of. Man's future depends on our lands. Stop that bill now... 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 urge you to 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. These acts were made with careful forethought and consultation.

Certain areas should be exempt from commercialism & paving over. If we don't restrict development in certain areas, we will have no greenspaces left in another generation.
