I am opposed to the special economic zones Act. I agree that Ontario should be self sufficient and look at ways to increase proficiency however when we are looking at removing assessments to evaluate the harm to the residents of Ontario that is irresponsible. The overall wellness of the community residents, species, and environment need to be considered before approving projects with long term effects.
The Dresden Dump is a good example. If this act is passed a dump full of hazardous construction waste will be approved to be located in a wetlands that feed into the Great Lakes. This waste will result in the lost of endangered species and their habitat will be eliminated and contaminated by waste. The residents of Dresden live, within 1 km of this dump and our children’s school is also in close proximity.
Please deny this act. Allow environmental assessments, community consultations and indigenous considerations be apart of the planning process.
