Removing environmental assessment requirements for the York1 waste site is a serious mistake. Waste disposal projects have long-term impacts on land, air, water, and nearby communities — they must be thoroughly reviewed.

Skipping the environmental assessment process puts public health and the environment at risk, just to save time or money for developers. That’s unacceptable.

Ontario needs more environmental oversight, not less, especially for projects that deal with pollution and waste. Cutting corners now will cost us much more later.
