Many sections of this act should be revised.

- Under no circumstances should the Highway 413 project be exempt from the Environmental Assessment Act. Ensuring adequate environmental assessments are conducted for all major infrastructure projects is of vital importance and there should be no exceptions made for highway 413. A desire to expedite the project should not override the requirements under the Environmental Assessment Act.

- The Expropriations Act should continue to apply to all expropriations of land, there should be no exception for expropriations made under section 10 of the Ministry of Infrastructure Act, 2011. All people deserve to continue to benefit from the protections of the Expropriations Act and should be allowed due and fair process when facing an expropriation of their land.

- Ministry approval should not be required for the building of infrastructure within municipal jurisdictions. Bike lane infrastructure most predominately affects those within a given municipality and should therefore be subject to the plans set forth by the municipal government who was elected by the people within that jurisdiction. The provincial government is overstepping their lane by interfering in these decisions and is undermining the electoral process by making choices for people who did not elect them to do so.
