NORTH DUFFERIN AGRICULTURAL AND COMMUNITY TASKFORCE SUBMISSION - BILL 66 PREMISE:
On December 6, 2018, the government introduced Bill 66, Restoring Ontario’s Competitiveness Act (“Bill 66”).
There are five proposals open for public comment, closing January 20, 2019.
COMMENTS:
NDACT is supportive of the goal of streamlining and reducing red tape for businesses to operate in Ontario. However the proposed amendment to the Planning Act takes away the democratic right of citizens to know what is happening in their own backyard, provide input and if needed oppose the development. Transparency is a key and fundamental issue that is missing from Bill 66. Profits for corporations should not come before the rights of the taxpayers, their health or the environment.
NDACT has written and submitted 3 different submissions, to the 3 different Environmental Registry of Ontario Notices (ERO).
