This bill is a vile betray of Ontarian's trust in our legal system. It's incredibly against the will of Canadians who do not actively seek the destruction of wildlife, their homes, or our country's heritage. Read more

The proposed amendments should not be approved in their current form. We need housing, transit and healthcare facilities, but not at the expense of further suffering by our Indigenous benefactors, the people who long cared for the territory we now call Ontario. Read more

This amendment will effectively destroy the Ontario's heritage properties, losing valuable historic buildings and sites that represent Canada's history and identity. I am completely opposed to this proposal.

These proposed amendments are too vague in their language, leaving for the potential for misuse by government parties in power and third parties, particularly in regards to the exemption of properties from archaeological assessments, and for authorities to establish criteria for land exemptions.

Regulations to protect the environment and Indigenous land are there for a reason. When planning projects in sensitive land, the government and proponents need to do their due diligence to ensure undue harm is not done. Read more
