Abstract

Prepared prior to the announcement by the Harris Government on amendments to Bill 20, this paper reviews the issue of planning reform in Ontario since 1990 along with discussions on the changes introduced by both the New Democratic Rae and Conservative Harris governments. Underlying the presentation are the concerns surrounding environmental protection through land-use planning. Bill 20 is outlined in detail and critiqued from the points of view of environmental protection and municipal empowerment.
