I am 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 informing the public about environmentally significant specifically with regard to Ontario Place.
This proposed amendment is to benefit privately sector initiatives, and is not in the public interest nor the interest of our environment.
I am calling on the Ontario Government to remove Schedule 8 of the Protect Ontario by Unleashing Our Economy Act, 2025.
