My husband and I enjoy the tranquility of living in a rural area. We respect the wildlife and the beautiful landscape that is Caledon. With Bill 66 requiring no checks no balances, no possibility of appeal, we are sitting ducks ready to be plucked!
Bill 66 Schedule 10 scares me knowing that at any time if my municipality chooses to use Schedule 10 at any time, without warning or notice, developers and councillors can, behind closed doors, come up with a bad development proposal.

I am writing to voice my opposition to Bill 66 which, if passed, would undermine many critically important pieces of legislation that were created to protect the people of Ontario.

One word, Walkerton. There are some things where cuts can't be made i.e. on basic necessities like our food, our water, and air. Releasing these deliberately tight regulations on greenbelt lands opens up opportunities for water contamination.

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 am deeply concerned that Bill 66, Schedule 10, is taking Ontario in the wrong direction. I do not feel that “opening up for business” by reducing environmental protections is good for any of us in the long term.

The greenbelt should be protected. Wetlands and water and farmlands should be protected. You want to make Ontario more profitable, more employed, more open for business? Invest in the arts send the environment and renewable energies and new technologies.

I object to Bill 66.
Leave Farmland alone or invest in this Ontario Farmland.
As a nearby resident I would much rather see this land untouch or developed strictly for the purpose of farming. This is pristine green space full of farms and wildlife please leave it that way!
I strongly oppose the passing of Bill 66, parts of which would jeopardize the Greenbelt and other environmental protections; Schedule 10 would proposes to override important planning, water agricultural and environmental protections contained in the Clean Water Act 2006 and the Greenbelt Act, 2005;

Be it known that the Federation of Tiny Township Shorelne Associations representing 25 beach associations along 60 miles of GEORGIAN Bay Coastline object to Section.

I would ask that the government withdraw this ill advised omnibus piece of legislation. The democratic rights of local citizens should not be taken away under the guise of making Ontario competitive.

Schedule 10 sounds bad for the environment and bad for democracy. Public consultation is an important part of the development process and saving the environment should be very important to all...including the government!
Schedule 10 of Bill 66 proposes to "remove planning barriers to expedite major business investments and speed up approvals by about two years" and talks about the jobs that these changes will create.

Bill 66 constitutes an affront to both the environmental conservation and democratic processes of Ontario. The creation of “open-for-business” by-laws will allow for the circumvention of established environmental regulations by municipalities wanting to attract commercial activity.
