I strongly oppose Bill 66 for a number of reasons.
1) I am disturbed that there is no way for citizens to appeal open-for-business by-laws to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal.

Please o NOT open our Green Belt for development, with this Bill. Bill 66 will put 2 two million acres of natural areas, habitats and wetlands at risk of development.

Bill 66 is a catastrophe waiting to happen.
It trashes the environmental protections that we put in place over decades - I was involved in the 1970s! - leaving the water we drink, the air we breathe, the food we eat to be poisoned for profit.

I am very concerned about this bill. It appears that the provincial government has proposed to allow the development of protected areas such as the greenbelt and the Oak Ridges Moraine and removing environmental protections in sensitive areas. I disagree with this.
Bill 66 if passed will spell DISASTER for Ontario! It certainly is not in the interests of the environment or most people of Ontario; it is strictly in the interest of businesses and opens many of our waterways and Great Lakes to contamination and destruction by them. Why would we allow that?

I do not support bill 66. This bill, as proposed, will threaten Ontario's water, farmland, natural and environmentally sensitive areas. It would circumvent vital protections for water, land animals and people.

I spend time in two very different municipalities in Ontario . One is mostly rural and the other is in a municipality with some of the worst air quality in Ontario. I therefore have a vested interest in every issue in this poorly thought out piece of proposed leglislation.

I join several progressive municipalities in their opposition to this regressive legislation, including the City of Hamilton and the City of Guelph. (See website links).

I do not support any part of Bill 66. It will usher in policy that endangers the environment as well as the physical well-being of all those who depend on the environment to live (in case you aren’t aware, that is all of us).

Reducing child care adult-to-child ratios is not about creating affordable child care spots and is absolutely unsafe, irresponsible, profiting at the expense of children. This government should be ashamed that it values private business profit over child safety.

This legislation contradicts what Doug Ford said during the election campaign - that he would not touch the Greenbelt!
Bill 66 undermines evidence-based city planning, threatens drinking water and removes protection from toxic chemicals.

Premier Ford promised to protect our green spaces in and around the GTA after first musing about developing them. Now he has broken his election promise.
This consultation is just a preamble for allowing big business to pave over our precious countryside.

As a concerned and committed citizen of Ontario, I appeal to our provincial government to repeal Bill 66 and leave in place theToxics Reduction Act, 2009.

As an Archaeologist, I fear this Bill will be a detriment to my career. What I am certain of is that this Bill will be a detriment to the culture that is still evident within the soil of this land.

We must continue to protect and preserve our environment and any laws negating that, should be considered preposterous. This bill would be destroying the safety procedures we have put in place and would be even going as far as working on restricted and protected land.
