I am deeply concerned about Bill 5. Just it's name "Protect Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act" scares me. You are not protecting Ontario by unleashing anything. The economy is not above the law. Safeguards are put in place to protect Ontario and you seem to be trying to remove them so you can develop anything you want, wherever you want, anywhere you want. Just look at what you're messing with in this one Bill:
Ontario Heritage Act
Environmental Assessment Act
Environmental Protection Act
Endangered Species Act, 2007
Rebuilding Ontario Place Act, 2023
Sneaking Ontario Place in there, saying the Environmental Bill of Rights does not apply, that's wrong.
Please stop this Bill now and do what's right by this beautiful Province. Respect it. Respect Indigenous Peoples. Strengthen laws that protect our environment. Don't weaken them.
