Le présent avis est fourni à titre d’information seulement. Il n’existe aucune obligation de mener une consultation sur le Registre environnemental de l’Ontario à propos de cette initiative. Pour en savoir davantage sur le processus de consultation et les types d’avis publiés sur le registre.
Pourquoi une consultation n’est pas nécessaire
On April 1, 2020, the Ontario Government made a temporary regulation to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak. Ontario Regulation 115/20 exempts all proposals for policies, acts, regulations and instruments from posting requirements under the Environmental Bill of Rights until 30 days after the declared emergency is terminated.
Although consultation was not required, the ministry did consult with the public on this proposal by posting Environmental Registry of Ontario number 019-1731 for public comment April 30, 2020 to May 30, 2020. To ensure transparency, the ministry is providing details of its decision and the effects of consultation on decision-making in this notice.
