I, as an individual, agree with the Canadian Environmental Law Association in the following points.

*There will not be an up-front, detailed review by Ministry staff to assess the potential environmental impacts of the specified operations

*Public participation and appeal rights under the Environmental Bill of Rights, 1993 would no longer apply

*Waste management systems that transport and store waste - in particular, asbestos waste, hazardous waste, and biomedical waste - have the potential to cause serious harm to our health and the natural environment

*Improper management of wastewater and stormwater has the potential to cause serious impacts to freshwater systems and safe drinking water

*Allowing up to 379,000 litres of groundwater-taking per day without a permit threatens aquifers, impacts wells, and strains municipal infrastructure

*Removing the requirement to inform Conservation Authorities about water-taking limits their ability to protect drinking water sources
