It seems you need a law…

It seems you need a law degree to be able to decrypt all that is at stake. I strongly support transparency and the use of popular terms that can be understood by the general public for these documents. How are we to help the government make decisions if we cannot understand the entirety of the proposed bill. The public is a resource, and the government of Ontario represents our interests. I wish Ontario to be open for business, but open for sustainable developments only. Sustainability has three major pillars: Environmental, Economical, and Social benefits. One cannot thrive without the other, and I feel Bill 66 does not fulfill these three mandates. Planning applications under this by-law would not be subject to the Clean Water Act, Provincial Policy Statement, Growth Plan for Northern Ontario, and other prescribed provisions that protect human health and the environment. Use of this by-law could put drinking water at risk, and cause environmental degradation that will come with high costs in the future.

I ask the Government of Ontario to use all of its resources to make Ontario great again, by adhering to sustainable development practices and to build up instead of tearing down what has been constructed in the past.
