As much as I'd like to speed up building housing, transit and other important infrastructure in Toronto, we must not put our natural environment and endangered species more at risk.

This Bill would abandon Ontario’s commitment to protecting species and ensuring their recovery. This is not streamlining — it’s steamrolling. You cannot allow developers to proceed before environmental implications are fully known. Read more

I urge the Ontario government to withdraw Bill 5 in its entirety and instead work with environmental experts, Indigenous leaders and the public to strengthen — not dismantle — our systems of environmental protection. Read more

As the habitat for wild species decreases and the climate of that natural habitat also changes, now is not the time to lessen restrictions that protect already endangered wildlife. There are many options to address the housing crisis that this government has not explored. Read more

Those policy just sounds like less protections for the wildlife as developers have more free reign to build over their habitats. In the age of climate change, I couldn't possibly see how this is the direction to go towards.

It is profoundly disheartening to realize that our government leaders would prove so short-sighted and with such narrow minds as to ignore the importance of securing a healthy, clean and biodiverse environment to enjoy a good quality life for the Ontarian population. Read more
