The existing policy…

The existing policy mechanisms (the Greenbelt Act, the Oak Ridges Moraine Act, the Clean Drinking Water Act) that provide time for thought and consideration before allowing development on critical environmental features follow the precautionary principle that states in the case where we cannot demonstrate that no harm will be done, we should not undertake said project.

Fast development is not good development and in my province, I prefer that the towns are open for good living, open for thriving, open for clean water, open for fresh local food and not open for business.

I urge the current government to revoke this proposed Bill and to go through thorough and proper consultation before crafting a new bill to support Ontario's business community that does not Ontario's human community, as the current one does.
