I oppose the environmental impacts of Bill 23.

We are deeply troubled by Bill 23 and the proposed amendments to the Greenbelt Plan. Many of the Ontario government’s actions can only be described as undemocratic, as there is no mandate for these sweeping reforms. The province is dismissive of stakeholders, ENGO’s and NGO’s that express concern and/or opposition. The ENGO community has gotten used to this, but the fact that the Ontario Chamber of Commerce and the Association of Municipalities of Ontario’s concerns are also being ignored is unprecedented. This head in the sand behaviour reflects an unwillingness to acknowledge the magnitude of public concern and to fairly listen to all experts and stakeholders.
