I am commenting on the proposed amendments to the Rebuilding Ontario Place Act, 2023, which I find extremely disturbing.
I am strongly opposed to Schedule 8 of the Protect Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act, 2025, exempting every project tied to the Ontario Place redevelopment (and any enterprise or activity that furthers the Ontario Place Redevelopment Project that is not at the Ontario Place site) from Part II of the Environmental Bill of Rights, 1993.
Part II of the Environmental Bill of Rights specifically outlines “minimum levels of public participation that must be met before the Government of Ontario makes decisions on certain kinds of environmentally significant proposals for policies, Acts, regulations and instruments.”
Schedule 8 will completely eliminate public participation, as well as eliminating informing the public about environmentally significant activities specifically with regard to Ontario Place.
This proposed amendment will benefit private sector initiatives, and it is not in the public interest nor the interest of our environment, which, I am sure you know, is already under threat from multiple sources. I am calling on the Government of Ontario to remove Schedule 8 of the new Protect Ontario by Unleashing Our Economy Act, 2025.
I fear for the world that my children and grandchildren will inherit due to actions such as these. So short-sighted, and based on money and greed rather than protecting our air, water and earth for future generations.
