This bill is a shameful step backwards for Ontario in numerous capacities and should NOT be carried.
The Greenbelt and the Moraine are vital to Ontario's fragile ecosystems, and commercial development of these protected lands (with a nod to the dubious developers to which Doug Ford promised a "big chunk") will cause irreparable damage.
To further this by allowing "open for business" zones to disregard the necessary and well-founded Toxics Reduction Act? The Clean Water Act? Great Lakes Protection Act? It's nothing short of a travesty.
The public deserves a voice. It is appalling that municipalities will not be required to notify the public or hold public hearings about “open for business” zoning bylaws.
The Conservative government promised to “protect the Greenbelt in its entirety". Keep your promise.
