Comment
This legislation includes a number of measures that I believe are harmful to democratic transparency, environmental protection, and public accountability. Of particular concern is the move to limit consultation requirements and centralize power, undermining the vital checks and balances that keep our provincial government accountable to the people it serves.
Ontarians deserve thoughtful, transparent governance—not rushed decisions that prioritize speed over sustainability and public interest. Bill 5 weakens public consultation and reduces the opportunity for local voices to be heard on critical issues that affect our environment, infrastructure, and communities.
