Comment
The preamble to this bill appears to confirm that 'environmental protection' is the aim. However once you start reading further you realize that this is not about environmental protection but rather about political interference. Any Bill that gives the minister the power to suspend protections because there 'might' be economic impact is quite clearly a political move. Believe it or not tourism is a major component of Ontario's economy and destroying our environment will have a detrimental affect on this industry. Let's get the balance right here and let the experts be the ones who make decisions not the politicians.
