It appears that the MNRF is taking a step backwards in providing permits for aggregate extraction. Most of this overrides the Municipalities which also have by laws in place.

If it was in the name of progress then people could live with it. But, it seems that the only thing that concerns the MNRF and the extractors is money. Greed prevails common sense.
