I am commenting on the
proposed amendments to the Rebuilding
Ontario Place Act, 2023.
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 Il of the
Environmental Bill of Rights, 1993
Part Il 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
eliminating informing the public about
environmentally significant activities
specifically with regard to Ontario Place
This proposed amendment is to 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.
This was not part of your mandate when you sought reelection. You were elected by the people of Ontario, which means that you need to listen to Ontarians and their concerns when they tell you they don't want you to destroy public places for private profit.
