Two glaring issues with Bill 212.

1. Schedule 3 section 2.
Highway 413 should not be exempt from the environmental assessment act. A poll by Ekos in December 2021 showed 49% of respondents were against highway 413 with only 29% in support of it.
The globe and mail reported on May 27, 2022 that highway 413 would have a negative impact on the environment. Exempting highway 413 from the environmental assessment act would be purposefully hiding the negative environmental impact highway 413 will cause.

2. Schedule 4
The provincial government is infringing on municipal jurisdiction by requiring the ministry's approval on bike lanes as well as allowing the ministry to remove existing bike lanes. This is not within the provincial government's jurisdiction and should be left up to the municipalities. The provincial government must recognize where its jurisdiction starts and stops.
