The proposed changes to the OHA regarding "Non-designated properties included on the register after the proposed amendment comes into force would have to be removed if council does not issue a NOID within two years of the property being included," is punitive to Municipalities who do not have the st

This proposal will eviscerate the protection of heritage properties under the Heritage Act without removing any barriers to housing development.

This is complete and total madness. Not only will this do absolutely nothing to change the availability of housing (the only people that would think this to be true are developers whom even see graveyards as potential sites of profit), but it would kill all Heritage designations altogether.

How can you propose to change this legislation without going to the citizens of this province?
Ripping down our Heritage will not improve either access to good development or quality of life!

So what is am reading is Bill 23 is the Bust out the Bulldozer Act. Do not stop for heritage sites, environment or water. Do not consider future generations (environment) or respect past generations (heritage). Make money for the short term at all costs.

Bill 23 will be a disaster for heritage in Ontario. Specifically we will loose much of our heritage buildings. There is no emphasis on adaptive reuse. Even the US is moving for adaptive reuse. We are returning to attitudes in the 1970s. Does Ontario want to loose all of its charm and character?

I disagree that changes should be made to the Ontario Heritage Act. The idea of removing buildings from the registry after two years and lack of power for municipalities increase the numbers of demolition. I would like to see more integration of older buildings into housing and new development.

Building on Green space and protected areas is not okay. The impact to all species that use these spaces will be damaging and far reaching. If people don't stand up for animals and tress, plants, insects, reptiles and all living things that can't speak out, then these life forms are doomed.

I am opposed to all the changes to housing guidelines (Bill 23 sec.6) across Ontario and the changes to the Conservation Authorities' powers. Our rivers ,wetlands. woodlands And the Holland Marsh MUST be
protected. Responsible development is needed across the Province.
The Ministerial review will be biased as the Minister will be politically influenced in his/her decision making. There should be instead a committee whose members do not have any political affiliation and come from various sectors in society and professions.
Heritage Designations are the result of local and municipal decisions, publicly debated and contested . The Standards and Guidelines embody contemporary knowledge about conservation and adaptive re-use .

My comment relates to the changes to the regulations (09/06) under the Ontario Heritage Act and is simply this: Regulations under the Act should continue to be regulations under the Legislation Act 2006 in order to prevent hasty changes to the regulations such as the one I am about to describe.

Not a Regional Responsibility.
There could be an economic development interest to ensure that the historic integrity of downtowns and other heritage places of community and tourism value continue to be protected or enhanced as important places.

Building homes faster won't help! Protect our archaeological assessment strategies they're there for a reason. This is only servicing colonialist practices and not dealing with true underlying issues.

There is no ‘housing crisis’; this is an emotional and panic-inspiring phrase repeated by the current Ontario government. But there IS a housing affordability crisis. The knee-jerk proposal to unprotect the Greenbelt and Oak Ridges Moraine lands for housing is not a convincing solution.

I am a Registered Professional Planner and I have a number of concerns with the proposed legislation. Overall, I do not believe this will create housing affordability, or significantly impact supply.
