This new proposed Bill 66 is completely antidemocratic, robbing the citizens the right to look at the proposed developments before they are approved and then forbidding us from any chance of appeal. I really think this is exactly what us citizens don't need or want. Read more

There absolutely should be no development in the Greenbelt - municipalities should not be permitted to bypass existing local requirements especially to the detriment of our environment and the health of the people who live in the area. Official plans and zoning must be adhered to.

I do not support Bill 66. I do not support Schedule 5 and Schedule 10 under this Bill. It is undemocratic and lacks transparency. It would leave citizens without recourse. Community members would not be able to appeal open-for-business by-laws to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal. Read more
