This whole MZO business is a clear attempt at the circumvention of due process
to the detriment of all Ontario citizens BUT an unfair advantage given to developers (Conservative party donors).
This is a truly egregious mis use of power.
I am strongly opposed to the misuse of the MZO to rezone a piece of land. The local municipality should have say in how the land is zoned. The MZO is undemocratic. It takes power away from the citizens and puts it firmly in the hands of one person - the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing.

Ontario has a long history of local municipal planning and Conservation area planning and input.
I'm concerned about the new provision in Ontario's Planning Act.

I am extremely concerned that Bill 197 (COVID-19 Economic Recovery Act) gives power over Ontario land use to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, as directed by a Minister's Zoning Order.

As a resident of Stratford, ON, I wish to register my objection to MZOs generally and the MZO recently used in Stratford. Simply put, it is an undemocratic tool. I can understand it’s use in extreme circumstances when the common good is at stake but that would be rarely and in the extreme.

Thank you for allowing my comments regarding the legislation of MZO's in general, and specifically how an MZO has affected me, specifically with the MZO granted for the Xinyi Glass Factory proposal for Stratford, Ontario.

I am absolutely appalled by the high number of MZOs that have been issued over the last year or so. MZOs are by their very nature anti-democratic, so they should be used only in extreme circumstances.

We are deeply concerned about both the sharp increase in the use of Minister's Zoning Orders (MZOs) over the past year ad the enhanced powers granted to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing through amendments to the planning Act, without public consultation, through Schedule 17 of Bill 197.
