Background

This document discusses protecting Ontario Place and the “Rebuilding Ontario Place Act (ROPA)" which is “stripping away the public’s rights, eliminating transparency, and shielding government decisions from legal accountability.” This act also involves the Environmental Assessment Act because the government is not obliged to follow the obligations under it through ROPA. This can cause negative impacts to the “natural environment (...) infrastructure and traffic.”
