I am commenting on the proposed amendments to the Rebuilding Ontario Place Act, 2023.
I am opposed to schedule 8 of the project Ontario by unleashing our economy act, 2025, exempting every project tied to 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 2 of the environment bill of rights, 1993.
Part 2 of the Environment 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 or policies, acts, regulations and instruments." Schedule 8 will completely eliminate public participation, as well as eliminate informing the public about environmentally significant activities, specifically with regard to Ontario Place.
This proposed amendment is to benefit private sector initiatives, and is not in the public interest nor the interest of our environment. I am calling the government of Ontario to remove schedule 8 of the new project Ontario by unleashing our economy act, 2025.
