In the election campaign,…

In the election campaign, the PCs promised to protect and maintain the Greenbelt. In my own understanding of this bill as proposed, this would not protect the Greenbelt in the slightest and would put invaluable water and land resources at risk for destruction via commercial development. I am urging the government to keep its promise and continue to keep the Greenbelt as it is.

I am also against the repealing of the Pawnbrokers Act, as this would eliminate important rules that ensure Ontarians are dealt with fairly by brokers and that their pawned goods are accounted for. I am urging the government to keep the act as it is until proper consultation on whether or not the act needs to be replaced with something better is taken.
