I am commenting on
the proposed amendments to the
Rebuilding Ontario Place Act, 2023.
I am OPPOSED to Schedule 8 of the Protect
Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act,
2025, exempting every project tied to the
Ontario Place redevelopment (and any
enterprise or activity that furthers the
Ontario Place Redevelopment Project that
is not at the Ontario Place site) from Part Il
of the Environmental Bill of Rights, 1993.
Part Il of the Environmental Bill of Rights
specifically outlines "minimum levels of
public participation that must be met
before the Government of Ontario makes
decisions on certain kinds of
environmentally significant proposals for
policies, Acts, regulations and
instruments." Schedule 8 will completely
eliminate public participation, as well as
eliminating informing the public about
environmentally significant activities
specifically with regard to Ontario Place.

This proposed amendment is to benefit
private sector initiatives, and it is not in the
public interest nor the interest of our
environment. l am calling on the
Government of Ontario to remove
Schedule 8 of the new Protect Ontario by
Unleashing Our Economy Act, 2025.
