I oppose Bill 5. Ontario…

I oppose Bill 5. Ontario place has already bulldozed urban forests ruining the habitat of many creatures along with causing coyotes to flee into the city. There is no reason that Ontario Place should be exempt from any environmental oversight and public input especially when a majority of residents did not want it's relocation.

Part 2 of the Environmental Bill of Rights specifically outlines that minimum levels of public participation must be met before the Ontario government makes decisions on certain kids of environmentally significant proposals. By approving Schedule 8, this will completely eliminate public participation and not provide the public with any information regarding environmentally significant activities to Ontario Place.

This proposed amendment only benefits private sector initiatives and not the public sector.
