Preserving the heritage of our country and our communities is important. The changes proposed in this Act will limit the definition of heritage status so that many important sites will be significantly more challenging to protect. Read more

There has been no consultation conducted with First Nations in the creation of the More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022. The government has a duty to consult with First Nations and any work/proposals connected to the act must be halted until consultation has occurred with First Nations.

I am against Bill 23 in all its entirety. Ontario has enough land set aside for housing. This is a land grab for corporate buddies of Ford. They have bought land on 21% interest with the obvious intention of paying such a debt and profiting mightily from resale in development. Read more

Save the Green Belt… this land SHOULD NOT BE DEVELOPED for housing, it should be preserved for future generations to have a better quality of life through wetlands survival and species that thrive in wetlands-both animals and plants. Use old abandon building sites for home building. Read more

We understand housing is scarce and are not naive to the fact that homeowners currently have a privileged prospective. These decisions, however, are clearly intended to further benefit a very small number of already wealthy entities, and lack any foresight. Read more

I fail to see why this Bill 23, Schedule 6 has anything to do with building houses faster at a rate of 150,000 per year. Since the Heritage Act was invented how many designations have been granted? Read more

The proposal to legislative changes for the Ontario Heritage Act will NOT provide more affordable housing. Listen to the citizenry. People do not want the proposed changes to this Act, listen to the protests! Stop undermining democracy! Read more

This bill will be disastrous for heritage in Ontario; indeed, it seems almost a punitive measure maliciously designed to destroy our provincial heritage. Read more
