The Ontario Auditor General…

The Ontario Auditor General has pointed out that air concentrations of ground-level ozone, which can trigger asthma and other breathing problems, have been increasing. Also, some urban and industrial areas in Ontario have poorer air quality than the rest of the province.
Since this issue has not been rectified especially in Oxford County among others and that expanding the existing registration in the EASR ( Environment Activity and Sector Registry) would mean that once registrants have received confirmation of their on line registration, they may undertake an activity at once and the ministry does not actively review such registration at first instance, this will make it more difficult to rectify the afore mention deficiency, therefore, the additions to the EASR should not be allowed.
Also, since the last webinar regarding these changes is not available until 4 days before the end of the comment period, the comment period needs to be expanded to 145 days commencing the day after the final webinar.
