This bill is not smart or effective in any means unless we are wanting to divert taxpayer dollars to a decade long project that will only provide us with another highway corridor that will ultimately not decrease any persons travel time in any way.

To top it off the whole means of this bill being to practically bypass any environmental protocols and limitations is profoundly absurd. There is a reason that we have protections around certain environments and ecosystems and species. To name a few that would be significantly damaged by the building of these highways: Wood Thrush, the Scarlet Tanager, the Black and White Warbler, the Veery and Ovenbird. I have yet to even include reptiles, fish, amphibians, trees, shrubs and other various plant species to be affected! Allowing this bill to go through would mean detrimental environment loss that is CRITICAL to the countless threatened or endangered species, which not can, but WILL plummet their overall populations in Ontario.

In summation, this bill is only worth it for the developers and MP's who have already have a stake in the game and have a irresponsible disregard for the nature and environment around them that makes our province the beauty that it is.
