This proposal shows a complete disregard for the environment. Repealing the Toxics Reduction Act will make it much harder for the public to access objective information regarding industrial pollution. This Act is not "red tape", it is a valuable piece of legislation providing Ontarians with crucial information. The other proposed changes allowing developments to ignore sections of the Clean Water Act, Great Lakes Protection act, etc. are absolutely backwards. How can the provincial government claim to be for the people when they are attempting to remove legislation intended to PROTECT those people? Environmental protection is not something that should be reduced simply for the benefit of polluting industries. This proposal is shameful and if it passed it would be an absolute tragedy.
