This proposal is an absolute disgrace. It ignores existing laws and policies that are intended to provide good guidance for municipal growth and development. There are numerous reasons why these laws and policies were put into place.

WE do not need Bill 66 Schedule 10 in Northumberland County. Our riding's biggest industry and employer is agriculture and our farmers' greatest fear is urban sprawl, be it residential or manufacturing.

I am a resident in the Region of Waterloo and I am concerned about the open for business planning by-law. I am in support of cutting red tape and stimulating business opportunities, however i am not in support of this at the expense of environmental protections and public consultation.

This is so foolhardy and destructive. The province should provide protective oversight for its population & not leave issues like the impact of public health on development to municipalities whim. Public consult is also paramount. Municipalities shouldn't be allowed to bypass their constituents.

The Province of Ontario’s proposed Bill 66 threatens our province's water quality and supply, agricultural and rural communities, natural ecosystems, and the continued smart growth of its urban cores.

Please stop Bill 66. This smacks of a back-room deal that Doug Ford made with developer friends to take away environmental protections in favour of unrestricted development.

Great bill , finally some common sense about development at the municipal level
Long over due
We can’t and don’t want to live in Toronto
Thanks now pass the bill and make it happen
I am not in support of any legislation that allows key environmental legislation to be bypassed in favour of development. It is short sighted and potentially places at risk our drinking water and natural public spaces.
