This is an updated version of the report that was submitted on March 21, 2024. One technical change was made which does not affect the findings of the previous version.

- Schedule 1 - Environmental Assessment Act changes to make it easier to expropriate land for new highways and developments,

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the "get it done" act.
Schedule 3 compromises Official Plans. It causes serious divisions between municipalities as they pursue self interest at the expense of neighbouring municipalities.

I am extremely concerned with the short sighted plan to allow development outside of the current Region of Waterloo regional plan. Allowing lower level governments to expand their borders will have negative impacts on our water supply.

I would like to register my opposition to this act. Yes, we need more housing, but municipalities should be required to use brownfield sites and greenfield sites within their existing boundaries before extending boundaries.
Schedule 1 - Environmental Assessment Act changes to make it easier to expropriate land for new highways and developments. Expropriation of land will be possible before Environmental Assessment. REMOVE SCHEDULE 1 RE: EXPROPRIATION.

Please remove Schedule 1 which authorizes expropriation of land without environmental assessments.
Please remove Schedule 3 which allows urban boundary expansions
Please remove Schedule 5 which eliminates future carbon taxes

Please I beg of you stop ruining Ontario - what you are doing with the Get it Done Act is putting another nail in the coffin of climate disaster and degrading the life of all Ontarians.

Please reconsider this bill. We live in a time when the opportunity to slow our deadly effect on the environment is short.
The 407 is under-utilised. A reduction in the toll would be so much more cost-efficient than a new highway.

I am vehemently opposed to this omnibus bill. The idea of allowing expropriating of land without environmental assessment is totally irresponsible. Schedule 1 must be rewritten.

I am opposed to Bill 162, the so-called "Get it Done Act." We must protect farmland, forests, river valleys and wetlands. Municipalities and their official plans have lands already set aside for housing development.
