I am concerned that Bill 5 and this proposal will erase/degrade mining safeguards and weaken the Mining Act by changing its purpose and avoiding public engagement/consultation.
Specifically, Bill 5 aims only to "protect Ontario's economy". It gives no consideration to preventing harm to public health or environmental health (which in turn impacts public health). That will completely change the Mining Act purpose.
Bill 5 will also eliminate and avoid numerous critical legal protections designed to protect our environment, health, and Indigenous rights. We need a healthy environment in order to have healthy lives and a healthy economy. Everyone, including Indigenous people, also has a right to a voice that should not be removed.
