This is a terrible Bill for more reasons than I can go into in this small space. It is undoing in one stroke what we -- the citizens -- have worked so hard to achieve. What we need is a Bill to *reduce* urban sprawl, not increase it. We need Bills to *reduce* our emissions, not increase them. We need to stop allowing developers free reign -- we need more citizen-driven/focused design of our public spaces: well-designed, well-built, walkable, communities that are aesthetically pleasing, that mix residential and commercial properties so that people can live and work and shop in one area. Places that increase our quality of life, that make Canada an attractive place to live and grow. What this Bill plans will do more of the opposite.
This is a democracy and we can't have a short-term government that does not have the majority of the popular vote, that is in power only because of our archaic electoral system, to make any changes that oppose the will of the majority of the people. The government is there to serve the will of the people, not its own interests.
Enough is enough.
