This should not be approved in it's current state. If the aim is to speed up permits to projects, then it is doing so without any accountability or timely repercussions to ill-intended projects. Government powers described in this is too ambiguous. This is dangerous and heading too far to the other end of "ease of use". Surely, we have the intelligence to come up with a middle ground instead of this act that can bulldoze any protected areas and perhaps, maybe be called out decades later for it with no actionable outcomes at that point.
