This proposed change seems…

This proposed change seems to put way to much authority over land planing and designation of historic or cultural sites in the hands of the provincial government. This is not appropriate as the provincial government can't possibly be familiar enough with the local intricacies of land use, cultural relevance or any number of other factors determining how properties should be used. This legislation seems like a blunt instrument designed to bully past local planning groups and push forward the interests of land developers.

Also, and perhaps most concerning is the lack of any sort of reference to consultation with Indigenous Peoples on usage of land. There can be no determination of the historical significance of a site without adequate consultation with Indigenuous Peoples as they are much more aware of the history of the land in so called Ontario.
