I’m strongly opposed to the proposed changes to the Ontario Heritage Act.
The proposed changes will make it more difficult to protect heritage buildings and we need to be doing more to protect heritage buildings at this time , not less .
Our provincial government needs to proceed with extreme caution about removing barriers to needed affordable housing development – there are ways to do it without destroying our cultural and environmental heritage. Please ensure that it is not just lining the pockets of speculator developers!

I strongly support the goal of addressing the housing crisis but I strongly oppose many of the provisions of Bill 23. If Bill 23 is passed in its current form I will work hard to ensure the Conservative party is punished at the ballot box.
