Reducing the fines for polluters will lead to severe consequences for the environment and Ontarians’ health.
It will set a dangerous precedent that corporations are allowed to act indecently towards Ontario citizens, their homes, and the land without severe reprimand from the government that is supposed to have our best interests at heart.
It is highly deceptive of the Ontario government to claim that it is doing more to hold polluters accountable, when they are actually cutting the penalties polluters face. Ontario must cancel Schedule 9 of Bill 132 and actually increase the fines for polluters if the government really wants to protect the environment.
