Bill 23 proposes to weaken the Ontario Heritage Act in favour of development. Bill 23 proposes that the Minister can make unilateral decisions to remove provincial land from the protections of the heritage act. Profit for developers should be a lower priority than Ontario's environmental heritage. Ministers appointed by the premier cannot be trusted with the power to take land that b we longs to all citizens of Ontario and sell it off for development.
Bill 23 also makes it more difficult to designate properties for protection under the heritage act, and it makes it easier for owners and developers to remove properties from heritage protection.
Bill 23 is not about building homes faster, it is about making profits faster.
The crisis in Ontario is not a shortage of homes, it is a shortage of accessible, natural, greenspace. Natural areas are part of our heritage and should be protected for the future. We need them for our physical and mental health. Natural areas need protection, not pavement-for-profit.
