Omnibus bills like this one…

Omnibus bills like this one worry me. Diverse subjects with wide-ranging impacts lumped together as if they all carry the same weight. They are designed to obscure comment not invite intelligent, fact-based discussion and decision-making. For example, please remove Section 10 that gives wide-ranging powers to municipalities to overturn various important pieces of legislation which protect our Green Belt, Oak Ridges Moraine and Source Water and allow developers free access to invaluable lands that once built-over can never be used for food production or habitat protection. Please Mr. Ford, use common sense. Open for Business does not have to be at the expense of precious agricultural lands and invaluable green spaces, especially within and on the fringes of the Golden Horseshoe and Greater Toronto Area.
