I am deeply concerned that legislation that simplifies "paperwork" and removes barriers, and relaxes requirements will come at a cost to environmental concerns.
Of course I want Ontario to be "open for business" but not at the expense of the environment or at the expense of safe drinking water. There needs to be oversight. Walkerton taught us that.
I do not want to lose the GREENBELT. It needs to be protected from development.
Jobs are frequently cited as "the end that justifies the means", yet we know that it is foolish to keep coal mines open for the sake of jobs. Retrain. Find alternatives. Similarly, let Ontario be "open for business" in areas other than the GREENBELT.
