Please do not build on our green spaces and conservation areas. Suburban sprawl is not going to fix the current housing crisis . The pandemic proved how important publicly accessible green space has become for our health and well being. Read more

The environmental protections should be strengthened, not weakened. By limiting the number of concerns conservation authorities have about an application, environmental matters may be overlooked. Additionally, the environment is one of most unique features of Ontario. Read more

I feel the conservation authorities would better serve our communities if they have less power and would not have the authority to approve, deny or demand changes for building permits etc. Our municipal governments can do that very well. Read more

Conservation Authority Act and Regulations in Ontario is a major reason why Ontario has not suffered the floodplain disasters we have seen in Alberta/Calgary, BC and the Gatineau region of Quebec as well as many US jurisdictions where developers don't have the necessary oversight. Read more

We're in a climate crisis, we cannot afford build over conservation areas. This proposal does not help with affordability and at the same time makes significant damage to our environment. Homes belong in towns and cities, not on top of farms, forests and wetlands.

Bill 23 is wanton and reckless and should be repealed in its entirety. This Bill is a thinly-veiled attempt to pander to developers and land speculators under the guise of addressing the housing "supply" issue (not affordable housing). Read more

This proposal would not create more clarity or certainty. This proposal would take power away from the Conservation authorities to make decisions based on the unique environmental characteristic of each area. Read more

I am against these changes for the following reasons. Taxpayers, municipalities and our natural systems will bear the costs of the Province’s affordable housing legislation released last month. Read more
