Green development standards are an important part of Ontario's action on climate change, which is becoming more serious every day. I strongly urge you to allow municipalities to continue requiring and using all reports/studies needed to meet their Green Development Standards (GDS).

Based on the Ontario municipalities benchmarked by the Canadian Home Builders' Association (CHBA), all of the cities with a GDS have made progress in accelerating approval timelines, while all of the cities without a GDS have seen timelines get slower.
