After reviewing Bill 212 and its contents, I think the passing of such a bill would be detrimental to Ontario's fragile ecosystems and should be reconsidered. First, the bill promises accelerated building processes of infrastructure by reducing the time spent on analyzing the environmental impacts, and allowing work to be started before the assessments are completed. This can lead to important environmental characteristics being overlooked, and therefore allowing infrastructure to be built and further degrade Ontario's already hurting wildlife. Also, the passing of this bill would make highway 413, along with other works, a priority and practically force it to be built. This action will jeopardize endangered species which have habitat along the outlined area of development, and diminish our greenbelt. Ontario's environment minister needs to step in and subject highway 413 to a new review, and help save our fragile environment before it's too late.
