I am against Bill 5. The Government is trying to ram through a bill of power grab and lawlessness. This Government has a track record of recalcitrance and obfuscation, which is only made ever more evident by the short consultation period. It cannot grant the cabinet the power to exempt developments from following the law. That basically defeats the concept of equal justice under the law, like it did in the Greenbelt Scandal.

This invites opportunity of corruption as it removes normal guardrails to abuse of power, not to mention it would be environmentally damaging.
