The "Made in Ontario"…

The "Made in Ontario" environmental plan previously released by this government stresses the importance of trust and transparency. This proposal speaks to neither of those two things. The fact public consultation and even public notice will not be required under this bill is shocking, especially coming from a government claiming to be "for the people". The fact that decisions made under this bylaw are not subject to appeal is equally egregious. Furthermore, this idea of being able to "get around" existing planning regulations sets a dangerous precedent for the future - if you can do away with environmental protections for the sake of "removing red tape", what's next on the chopping block?
