Submissions on Bill 66 – Restoring Ontario’s Competitiveness Act, 2018, (ERO # 013-4293)

The Ontario Soil Regulation Task Force OSRTF is pleased to comment on the above named posting to the Environmental Registry. It is also providing comments on:
• Repeal the Toxics Reduction Act, 2009 and all associated regulations by December 31, 2021 (ERO # 013-4234)
• Planning and reporting changes under the toxics reduction program and Ontario Regulation 455/09 (ERO # 013-4235)
• Proposed open-for-business planning tool (ERO # 013-4125)
• New Regulation under the Planning Act for Open-for-Business Planning Tool (ERO # 013-4239)

OSRTF is a not for profit volunteer organization that assists over 20 member groups across southern Ontario working to ensure responsible and sustainable management of excess construction soils.

OSRTF is opposed to the above named proposals for Restoring Ontario’s Competitiveness because of the dangers they present to the environment in which we all live, and thus to our health and to the enjoyment of our neighbourhoods.

The reasons for our opposition are contained in our comments through the above-mentioned ERO postings and through the submissions of the Ontario Greenbelt Alliance and of the Ontario Headwaters Institute.
