To streamline the steps to build MORE affordable housing in Ontario and to create that housing with at lower cost and with reduced negative environmental impact and using more efficient factory pre-built building elements the Government of Ontario should form an EXPERT Group of housing designers,

While I support efforts to make housing easier and faster to build, I am very concerned that Bill 17 will make it harder for municipalities to make wise planning decisions, particularly with thoughtful and measured green development standards.

Dear Minister Flack:
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the proposed regulation under the Planning Act to regulate complete application requirements (study/report requirements) and submissions from certified professionals.

I understand that Bill 17 aims to streamline municipal planning applications made under the Planning Act and the City of Toronto Act, by establishing consistent engineering and planning study requirements.

Removing requirements for wind studies does not make sense.
Anyone who has walked near Bloor-Yonge, or King-Bay in Toronto on a windy day, can talk not only about inordinate, unpleasant winds, but unsafe ones, blowing debris around, including into one's eyes. Its exceedingly unpleasant.

I strongly oppose Schedules 3 and 7 of Bill 17, the Protect Ontario by Building Faster and Smarter Act, 2025, particularly the proposed amendments to the Planning Act and the City of Toronto Act.

I strongly object to the passing of Bill 17. It will strip municipalities of too much of their power to plan and guide development in a way that puts their resident's best long term interests first. We agree on the need for more housing,. nd for the housing that exists to be more affordable.

I strongly oppose Bill 17 as it poses a significant threat to the future of our green infrastructure industry. If passed, this measure would dismantle essential safeguards, obstruct economic growth, and compromise environmental stability.

As a resident of Ontario, I am outraged by the fast tracking of Bill 17. This bill is being pushed through with no meaningful consultation, no transparency, and no respect for the people who live in the communities it will irreversibly impact.

The Ontario Urban Forest Council urges the Province to revise Bill 17 before it proceeds further. While we support the goal of increasing affordable housing, this legislation, as drafted, will severely weaken the tools municipalities use to protect and expand urban forests.

The attached document details our comments, which can be summarized as follows:
- it's unclear if the list of prohibited studies will be expanded or reduced, causing uncertainty and delays.
- it's unclear if we can still comment on the topics these studies cover.

I strongly urge you to allow municipalities to continue requiring and using all reports/studies needed to meet their Green Development Standards (GDS).

Municipalities need to be able to request studies to ensure that builders are following their green building rules which make homes more sustainable, more resilient to extreme weather, and more affordable to heat and cool.

Municipalities are using GDS to improve health and safety in new homes, lower the energy bills of residents, reduce infrastructure costs, prevent municipal property taxes from increasing, lower demand on our energy systems, and cut emissions.

City residents deserve safe communities. Shadow studies, wind studies, and exterior lighting plans are necessary for both new and existing residents to get sunshine, walk outside comfortably, and feel secure at night. Stop micromanaging municipal governments!
I have many concerns about Bill 17. As a physician and a mother, I think this Bill needs to be heavily revised to promote a healthy future for Ontarians - one that maintains our high quality of life but also our clean air, water, and a safe climate.

I am a retired kindergarten teacher in Toronto. I retired early so as to lend my voice to the efforts being made to ward off the worst affects of the climate crisis we find ourselves in the midst of.

The proposed changes to the Planning Act may lead to increased profits or faster construction - though that is still speculative and yet to be demonstrated through evidence. What it will not do is contribute to a livable urban areas. I live, work, and conduct research on urban history in Toronto.

Local governments (Cities, Municipalities etc) should have control of shadow studies, wind studies, exterior lighting plans and Urban Design plans.
