This proposal is a wolf in…

This proposal is a wolf in sheep's clothing. It disguises industrial freedom to destroy as a "increased oversight" and "efficiency". For a proposal like this to even get this far into our policy process is disgusting. It's clearly an attempt to fool an unwitting public, and based on just that it should be thrown out. Any policy should be based on honesty and clarity. This is not. Giving the Environmental Minister this much individual power is completely unnecessary. Adding "those with community knowledge" is counter productive. To be unbiased and objective this committee should be made up of solely scientific members. Adding laymen to this process introduces more bias. This proposal is disgusting, and dishonest.
