This Act has the potential to erase valuable heritage landmarks from our province robbing future generations of the chance to experience and understand their history. Decisions about what to preserve are best made locally. This bill should not be passed.

I do not support Bill 23. Certainly *some* red tape exists and fair adjustments might be proposed. In addition to the heritage concerns, the conservation authories should be left to do their important work. Read more

This proposal effectively eliminates heritage listing, which, despite being considered "interim" protection, is a less cumbersome and more resource effective way of managing change to heritage properties. Heritage listing is a "win win" for both property owners and municipalities. Read more

The reason that many people choose to live here is because we know our history and appreciate the registry of heritage buildings. This is not an impediment to affordable housing as these buildings and houses exist as residences already. Read more

Bill 23 should be shelved until more thought can be given to where new housing in Ontario should be located. Certainly, we should not be paving over chunks of the formerly "protected" greenbelt with the excuse that it is suddenly mandatory that it be developed. Read more
