All developments or actions,…

All developments or actions, particularly those involving existing naturalized areas of Ontario, whether urban or rural, wetland or dry, should be vetted through the community and with Indigenous, Metis and Inuit (where applicable). No one should be making decisions willy-nilly when the public cannot weigh in.

Ministerial Zoning Orders should only be used rarely, and only after a careful consultation with all concerned parties has occurred, and only used when decisions cannot be reached through consultative processes. The only other exception is that MZOs should be used to PROTECT naturalized and green spaces wherever possible, particularly when municipal governments fail to do so.
