Comment
I strongly object to the pay to play formulation proposed herein whereby the province proposes to"to allow municipalities or other infrastructure developers the option to pay a charge in lieu of completing certain on-the-ground activities required by the act". This makes it clear that cash, not conservation, is key. Do not allow ministers to use their discretion, i.e. to cave to well-heeled lobbyists and other influence groups, over the rule of law to protect our province and its environment.
