The Ontario Greens, led by Deputy Leader Aislinn Clancy, have expressed strong opposition to the Ford government’s latest proposal to exempt five types of orders from consultation under the Environmental Bill of Rights. Clancy argues that the government has consistently weakened environmental safeguards since taking office, undermining public input and protecting the province’s natural resources. With existing emergency exemptions already in place, critics warn that these changes could further expose Ontario’s farms, forests, and wetlands to exploitation by powerful interests. The Greens vow to continue their fight for stronger environmental protections and community engagement.
