I am writing because I am opposed to “Bill 66, Restoring Ontario’s Competitiveness Act, 2018” along with the proposed regulations associated with the “Open-for-business planning tool” My expertise is in archaeology and cultural heritage management and these proposals could negatively, and dramatical

We are responsible for leaving a healthy environment for future generations. As the governing party of this province I ask that you be part of that. Urban sprawl is not the answer.
Protect and improve what we already have and don't destroy more.
Please see the attached document which outlines Conservation Ontario's comments on the proposed Bill 66, Restoring Ontario's Competitiveness Act (EBR#013-4293), the Proposed Open-for-business Planning Tool (EBR#013-4125), and the proposed New Regulation under the Planning Act for open-for-business p

I am writing to express my dismay about the recklessness of Bill 66. The regulations that it is proposing to repeal are essential to protecting the health and well being of the citizens of Ontario.

Bill 66, Restoring Ontario's Competitiveness Act, 2018 is aimed at increasing employment by cutting red tape - eliminating redundant regulations. This bill contains two Schedules, 5 and 10, that will needlessly bypass or eliminate critical regulations and put public health and safety at risk.

I'm incredibly concerned about the provincial government's plan to sidestep very important provisions of a number of environmental protection acts with this act.

Bill 66 schedule 10 should be withdrawn and abandoned. The effects of this bill put at risk our farmland ,natural heritage systems, our democracy, our wildlife, our wells and water sources.

I am writing to express my strong opposition to Schedule 10 of Bill 66, which introduces “open-for-business by-laws” that would circumvent many of the requirements under several laws to ensure fair, consistent and transparent public engagement in land use decisions and protection of water, natural h

I am not in favour of the proposed OFP-ZBL planning tool as proposed. In its current form it:
- Disregards important provincial policy documents like the PPS and the Big Move side-stepping planning principles followed to create liveable communities.

I strongly oppose the proposed Open for business planning tool because of the negative impacts that it will have on my community and on our environment, our water, our air and our health.
