am commenting on the proposed amendments to the
Rebuilding Ontario Place Act, 2023.

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 I1 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. I am calling on the Government of
Ontario to remove Schedule 8 of the new Protect Ontario by
Unleashing Our Economy Act, 2025.
