Comment

Bruce County supports the provincial interest and objectives in streamlining approvals to get projects done – in the right way.
In this spirit we offer the following comments with respect to the proposed Amendments to the Mining Act, Electricity Act, and Ontario Energy Board Act:
Territorial restrictions could affect procurement for energy projects within Bruce County.
The concept of the “Mine Authorization and Permitting Delivery Team,” with integrated and concurrent review by various involved ministries and dedicated project management support could be applied more broadly to projects that require multiple provincial ministries and other levels of government to be engaged in the review and approval process.
Further, Bruce County requests that the province provide more than 30 days to receive comments on important legislative changes, to allow appropriate time for Councils to receive and deliberate before submitting comments.
