Reject the open-for-business planning tool! It will undermine efforts to make Ontario communities more livable, sustainable and resilient.

This proposal takes away legislation that protects our natural and cultural environments. It does not take into account the impact on the planning profession who carry out studies in support of the legislation. Further, it does not acknowledge Indigenous community rights.

I do not agree with Bill 66 and request to 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. Read more

I want to register my strong opposition to Bill 66 Restoring Ontario’s Competitiveness Act, 2018. The Bill undermines or destroys many years of improving regulations that protect our health and the environment on which the rest of our society and economy depends. Read more
