No. Absolutely not. None of…

No. Absolutely not. None of this is ok!

Yes, we need more housing, infrastructure and whatnot, but not at the expense of the environment! There are rules and protections in place for a reason, and now the Ford government just wants to bypass them all? How is letting a company register, then immediately bulldoze and start building without environmental assessments done, going to be beneficial? Developers will take advantage of this to pave over sensitive habitats they know they can't touch, and when confronted go "oh well, I registered, that's all I had to do." There will be no accountability, no way to reverse what they did, no consequences, nothing.

This isn't designed to help speed things up - this is designed to help developers make money. It helps them bypass environmental laws and regulations, gives them a loophole in said regulations so they can develop wherever they want, and there will be nobody that can stop them.

Ford needs to stop gutting environmental regulations to make his developer buddies happy. Do something that helps for a change, leave things alone that don't need to be touched.
