Bill 23, the More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022, is a bulldozer destroying key parts of the Ontario Heritage Act and Ontario’s cultural heritage protection system.

I am an advocate for affordable housing. I am also an advocate for heritage. It seems extremely misinformed that the government of Ontario is taking a mutually exclusive approach to these two issues.

The current Bill does terrible damage. There are better ways to ensure that more homes are built in Ontario.
I object to three very significant features of this bill.
1. It removes heritage protection over built property.

Some of these changes like being able to amend an HCD plan and applying regulation 9/06 to listing of properties is positive. Unfortunately there are more negatives in this bill.

The proposed changes to the Ontario Heritage Act and its regulations are unacceptable. Bill23 does not address the issue of affordable housing in Ontario. Building more homes in Ontario does not mitigate the rising costs of buying and renting houses in Ontario.

This Bill is much needed to move development along without the red tape that has hindered home building. This will create more product and the price will get more affordable for Ontarian's by default.

Hello.
As a member of our local Heritage committee I am writing with some concerns regarding Bill 23.
I do not understand the reasoning behind the proposal to removal of all existing listed properties from the local Heritage Property Register after two years from proclamation.

I and my family oppose Bill 23 as it will impact the Ontario Heritage Act, the Planning Act, and the Ontario Land Tribunal Act, among others.
I agree with David Flemming of Heritage Ottawa. “Bill 23 is focused on quantity over quality, setting heritage conservation back 10 years.”

Bill 23 is a Draconian travesty, usurping control of the municipal planning process from municipal governments (who most closely represent residents).

I do not believe these changes to the Ontario Heritage Act benefit, in any way, the people of Ontario. Municipalities and elected officials should not have the ability to "de-list" heritage properties or disregard heritage considerations without consulting their respective heritage committees.

This Bill is a terrible idea. Ontario needs more housing in existing urban areas that will be cheaper to service, provide access to transit and walkable infrastructure and does not require the destruction of natural areas.
