"Exempting approvals for…

"Exempting approvals for municipal agreements and ancillary TOC project agreements: Order In Council approval is required to enter into agreements, which can slow down execution. The proposal would seek to exempt certain agreements from requiring an Order in Council approval when other approvals are in place.

Environmental Implications: By implementing the proposed changes, MOI will be accelerating the creation of more TOCs, which in turn would help create high-density, vibrant, mixed-use communities with more housing and jobs near transit stations. The related development and construction of these communities may have a negative impact to the environment, while encouraging people to use public transit in close proximity, which will reduce car dependency, traffic congestion and emissions."

^ I am in support of reduced car dependency but I am cautious about exempting 'certain' agreements as I do not know what those 'certain' agreements are and whether they are agreements that protect nature and thus should be listened to.

In broad strokes I support this but that lack of information is troubling.
