What’s the point of having zoning, plans and provincial policies if they can just be bypassed? The changes to “facilitate” the process just seems like code to bypass public input and consultations. In addition, the appeal process no longer exists for changes made by municipalities. This could lead to overdevelopment of areas which cannot cope with additional buildings. For example areas where the population is dependent on wells for its water supply. Given the dry summers we now have, most of these areas would have even more problems than they have already.

It also seems to me that the bill is getting rid of regulations that protect people. I do not like the abolition of regulations for home based child care. Surely, these regulations were put in to protect children. One person cannot supervise several children adequately. I also do not approve of the fact that businesses will no longer have to get permission for excessive hours of work. these regulations are t0 protect workers. In addition, I don't know what the "Modernize and streamline administrative requirements for the operators of long-term care homes." Will this mean a reduction in the protection of the aged?
means.
I dislike Omnibus Bills. There is never enough information about every clause. For example, I am wary of reducing any regulation of toxics and I wonder if transferring this to the Federal Government will do this. To me much of this bill means that the protections for people are being abolished. Those regulations were created for a reason and this lowering of standards will result in future problems.
