This bill will directly affect how we protect the environment. It will impact the environmental assessment process.
Frankly, Speaker, this government has a terrible record when it comes to the environment.
If the government is so confident and so willing to push forward the bill to reduce inefficiency and thinks that this bill will actually serve in the interest of Ontarians, then why did the government provide barely any notice, little to no communication, no briefing for the opposition, no public consultation?
What is the government’s plan when it comes to ensuring that the public will have a say in this bill?
