I am deeply concerned about the environmental impact of the Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act and the Building Highways Faster Act. Expediting large-scale projects like Highway 413 and the Bradford Bypass risks irreversible harm to ecosystems, wildlife habitats, and local farmland. The potential destruction of forests, wetlands, and agricultural land, coupled with increased pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, could exacerbate climate change. Fast-tracking these developments without thorough environmental reviews raises serious concerns about long-term environmental damage. The government must prioritize sustainable development, ensuring that short-term economic gains don’t come at the expense of Ontario's natural heritage and community health.
