The National Disaster Medical

If
you are interested in attending one of the trainings listed below, please

Regional Liaison, via e-mail at Moji.Obiako@hhs.gov.

Ontario. Environmental Protections take a back seat.
https://act.environmentaldefence.ca/page/43516/action/1
Returning to the OMB takes us back to an expensive, time consuming dispute
resolution process that was difficult for citizens to take part in. But this
time citizens voices will be highly limited, making it even more difficult for
the public to participate.
The OMB was dismantled after an extensive 2-year public review and replaced with the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPATs). Now the Ontario government is bringing it back at the request of developers with no input at all from the public."
Why is Ontario bringing back the OMB? Because developers asked them to.
NOTE:
Bill 108 would also remove protections for Ontario’s
230+ species-at-risk, allowing developers to bulldoze
their habitat in order to allow them to turn a profit.
The Premier says wildlife protections are "red tape".
Bill 108 would make survival even harder for Ontario’s endangered species by:
"As part of the
More Homes, More Choice Act (Bill 108), the Ontario government intends to bring
back the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB).
