I strongly oppose proposed changes to the Planning Act that would allow Minister’s Zoning Orders (MZOs) to override protections for Ontario’s farmland and significant natural areas. Schedule 3 of Bill 257 would amend the Planning Act so that MZOs no longer have to be consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, the very foundation of Ontario’s comprehensive, integrated land use planning framework.

I urge you to remove Schedule 3 from Bill 257.
