Comment
I strongly oppose Bill 5 for the following reasons:
1. It bypasses Ontario’s environmental assessment process, weakening protections for Lake Ontario and local ecosystems.
2. It fails to uphold the duty to consult Indigenous communities, undermining their rights and environmental stewardship.
3. It sets a troubling precedent by allowing political interference in environmental reviews, reducing public transparency and accountability.
I urge the government to prioritize environmental integrity and Indigenous consultation in all infrastructure decisions.
