I have significant concerns about Bill 212 and the included Building Highways Faster Act and the Highway 413 Act, as well as the amendments to other Acts with respect to highways.

Opposed! This is the time to invest our tax dollars in saving our environment, our healthcare system, and supporting our struggling communities, not expanding urban sprawl and creating car dependant infrastructure right at the time when we so desperately need to shift away from using fossil fuels

Environmental disaster, at the expense of the many, for the benefit of the few. Highway 413 should not be built, and in the worst-case scenario — where the Ford government decides to continue with the highway — it should not be built as proposed in the Highway 413 Act.

I strongly object to exmpting activities related to Highway 413 from the Environmental Assessment Act. This is an egregious misuse of power that goes against the very purpose of the Environmental Assessment Act.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the Highway 413 Act proposed through Bill 212. Staff from the Town of Halton Hills has the following comments:

Highway 413 should not be built, not only because of negative consequences such as significant habitat loss of endangered species, loss of over 2,000 acres of farmland, and the destruction of Indigenous lands; but also because this reflects an unproductive way of building infrastructure and does not

As the threat of climate change becomes more prominent (as experienced through the serious floods this summer), it is imperative that the governments thinks very carefully how their projects are built and what assessments are done.
