The sweeping changes in Bill 23 and the various pieces of legislation will not create affordable or attainable housing. 1.5 million homes over ten years is a lofty goal but unrealistic given the labour force and competing markets. Read more

This proposed change seems to put way to much authority over land planing and designation of historic or cultural sites in the hands of the provincial government. Read more

Bill 23 should not be passed as it is going to allow for houses to be built on land that is currently protected by the Greenbelt for a reason. This bill will basically demolish the Ontario Heritage Act. Read more

My concern with these proposed changes is particularly where they affect natural heritage features that might also be classified as cultural heritage features. Natural heritage features that remain on the Ontario landscape are what sustain our health and well-being. Read more

Please reconsider this bill, it is so troubling. We are supposed to build BETTER communities. Please think of the impact these changes will have on all residents, our environment, and the long term development of our communities. This is not right.
