Can someone explain how…

Can someone explain how Chatham-Kent could be described as a “special economic zone “ that would allow Bill 5 to be applied here and allow the York 1 landfill ???

“…Proposed Ontario legislation that would give cabinet power to create "special economic zones" and allow the government to exempt itself from following laws on certain projects is little more than a power grab, First Nations, civil liberty groups and environmentalists say.

Critics say the bill, known as the Protect Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act, is designed to ensure projects such as Premier Doug Ford's proposed tunnel under Highway 401 and critical mineral mining in northern Ontario get done with little resistance.

Ford pointed to both projects as examples of regions that could be designated as special economic zones once the law is passed….”

“…The bill calls for "trusted proponents" and "designated projects" within the special economic zones to be exempt from having to comply with all provincial and municipal laws, which the organization said is concerning….”

Does this mean York 1 has been granted “ trusted proponent “ status by the Ontario government? Who does that? What’s the process? Is the process even open to public scrutiny or is it just a backroom deal with a slap on the back ???

How can the government get away with this? Sounds shady Doug Ford!!
