You pass Bill 23, in a big rush, without listening to anyone - including the people that you hire to help you make informed decisions - sneering at people that have legitimate concerns ... and leave the comments open. What a joke. The arrogance of this government is shocking. Read more

I am against loosening the criteria by which Heritage properties are designated and maintained. I value the sense of history and beauty of properties that remind us of earlier times and the valuable contribution to our culture by people and events of the past. Read more

I understand the importance of reducing barriers to the construction of new affordable housing. However, I would only agree with amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act, if such amendments are scrutinized by non-politicians and non-developers, so that unbiased decisions are made.

It is important to build more AFFORDABLE housing. Demolishing the greenbelt and taking away Heritage designations erases our history forever and does nothing to increase affordable housing. These significant areas must be left for future generations to cherish and enjoy. Read more

Loss of heritage sites and demolition of older buildings means loss of jobs in the renovation and tourism industries, and loss of our sense of place. In addition, destroying older buildings releases embodied carbon and contributes to climate change. Read more

The proposed changes to the Ontario Heritage Act will not result in more affordable housing being built, AND they will have a very negative impact on heritage conservation and attitudes about heritage, multiculturalism and citizenship in Ontario. They should not be implemented as presented. Read more

I do not agree with this Bill. By "reducing red tape and removing barriers that are slowing down housing construction" it is clear to me that mistakes will be made and important heritages properties will be lost. Once these heritage properties are gone they can not be replaced. Read more

Please reject the changes to the Ontario Heritage Act and repeal all of the dreadful Bill 23 - it is not in the best public interest and will not build more homes - or faster either.
