The purpose of this bill is not to streamline anything for the sake of speeding up the response to the housing crisis, its purpose is to enable private developers to cut corners in order to minimize their monetary investment prior to a project commencing. Read more

This is a terrible proposal. Do not revoke the MCEA and private sector developers regulation. This will not only take jobs away from Ontario residents, it is extremely disrespectful to the Indigenous communities. The Ford government has done enough negative things to Ontario. Read more

This change is beyond inappropriate. It flies in the face of reconciliation with indigenous communities and is not in line with many treaties and international conventions. It Canadian heritage must be known to be protected for us and for future generations. Read more

Wanted to say that I support these new regulations. They will certainly streamline the building of much needed public infrastructure and housing. Building rapid transit around dense housing quicker would be a huge win for both affordability and for the environment. Read more

This policy is a piece of a long-standing colonialist attitude Canada has had and not truly made up for. Despite all the posturing and truth and reconciliation, indigenous people are still impressed and there are no material benefits being given to them. This is horrendous and I do not support it.
