Schedule 2: pawnbrokers act protected consumers and required stolen items be reported to police. Repealing this act will increase crime and hurt those who use pawnbrokers. It will open up opportunity for pawnbrokers to take advantage of vulnerable consumers and create a black market.
Schedule 3: While this will increase access to childcare, more children per childcare provider could raise other issues (health and safety). Possible issues should addressed before this change is made.
Schedule 4: sub-metering allows measurement of ibdividual unit consumption and lack of sub-metering can lead to unfair allocation of energy costs. If sub-metering is being replaced with smart metering then no concerns. If not, individiduql monitoring needs to be maintained.
Schedule 5: this act is vital to the health and safety of Ontarians and the environment. Under no circumstances should this be act be Repealed. The dangers of an increase in toxic substances and the improper handling of toxic materials would be detrimental to Ontario.

Schedule 7:
1) Technical Stabdards and Safety Act:
As a government you should be protecting people. Reapealing this act is a danger to consumers. We should not be incentivising corporations at a cost to consumer health and safety...what happened to being for the people.
2) wireless services agreement act:
Canada has some of the most expensive wireless service fees in the world. For years large corporations were taking advantage of consumers. This Act finally provided much needed consumer protection. As a government for the people you should not be repealing an act that protects people.

Schedule 9:
1) Employment Standard Act:
Every employee has the right to know their rights and it is the duty of the employer to uphold those rights. Employee rights need to be posted in the workplace. As well, empliyers do not have the right to take advantage of their employees. Anyone working more that 48 hours deserves overtime pay. Again hurting regular people to benefit large corporations should not be something the government does. You should be protecting vulberable populations.
2) Labour relations Act: Agree
Schedule 10: WTF.......as a planner I don't even know where to begin. This open for business by-law will destroy municipalities. As a governement it is your responsibility to think long term and ensure decisions made today don't have negative implications in the future. All of these regulations were put in place for good reasons; to protect people and places and to ensure we have vibrant safe and healthy communities for generations to come. These acts have allowed municipalities to guide growth that benefits people and protects the environment. Development is booming, ontario is growing and intensifying exponentially. We have lots of underutilized space within our existing urban boundaries and do not need to take shortcuts that endanger our future in order to encourage development, because development is happening. As a government for the people these suggested changes are disgustingand criminal. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
Schedule 11: You should be protecting people not allowing large corporations to cheat those trying to get an education and contribute to society.
Schedule 12: Fine
