This is a terrible idea…

This is a terrible idea. Environmental protections like the Greenbelt Act, Clean Water Act, etc. were created to protect us, and by allowing companies to side-step them while removing public consultation or the ability to appeal is a recipe for disaster. I’ve been very relieved to see that most of our municipal governments (Burlington, Guelph, Vaughan, etc.) have already rejected this proposed by-law flat-out. As they should.
