This bill is a clear example…

This bill is a clear example of the needless wastefulness present in the current iteration of the Ontario provincial government.

The provincial government demanding the removal of completed bike lanes is not only a gross over reach of authority but also a complete waste of public funds. Furthermore, it is a waste of time and money for the provincial government to be overlooking municipal responsibilities that they are more than capable of managing themselves.

The most effective way to remove gridlock is to have less people using cars for transportation and more using alternatives such as public transportation or bike lanes.

This bill also demonstrates the current government's complete disdain for the environment. Encouraging more people to use cars for transportation rather than investing in cleaner alternatives is frankly laughable. Even worse however is the proposed exemption of the unnecessary highway 413 from the Environmental Assessment Act. Proposed routing runs through environmentally sensitive areas and the idea that an exemption should be provided shows disdain for the population (including the wildlife) of Ontario.

This bill should not move forward.
