There is absolutely no need…

There is absolutely no need to modify the act as it stands. The fact that developers are complaining that permit applications can

“create significant administrative burdens and delays, in particular for applicants filing numerous authorizations or registrations under the rules-in-regulations, for routine activities.”

This province does not need more urban sprawl, it does not need more cookie cutter bedroom communities and it most certainly does not need to open up the green belt for development.

This province needs to focus its attention on investing in existing urban infrastructure and improving the planning and implementation of higher density housing models.
