I am deeply opposed to Schedule 8 of the Protect Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act, 2025 exempting every project tied to the Ontario Place Redevelopment Project (and any enterprise or activity at furthers the Ontario Place redevelopment 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 "the minimum levels of public participation must be met before causing any environmentally significant proposals or policies, Acts, regulations and instruments."
Schedule 8 will completely eliminate any public participation, as well as eliminating informing the public about potentially environmental significant activities specifically with regard to Ontario Place.

The proposed amendment is so benefit private sector initiatives, and it is not in the public interest nor the interest of our environment. I am calling on the Government of Ontario to remove Schedule 8 of the new Protect Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act, 2025.
