I am completely 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. Frankly, this proposed amendment is completely driven by greedy and selfish desires and does not align with Canadian values of environmental protection and welfare.
I am calling on the Government of Ontario to remove Schedule 8 of the new Protect Ontario by Unleashing Our Economy Act, 2025.
