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 EBR.
Ontario Regulation 115/20 was revoked on June 15, 2020, however, we are posting this decision as a bulletin because the proposal was posted on original posting date, while Ontario Regulation 115/20 was in effect.
Although consultation was not required, the ministry did consult with the public on this proposal by posting ERO # 019-1662 for public comment from April 20, 2020 – June 4, 2020. To ensure transparency, the ministry is providing details of its decision and the effects of consultation on decision-making in this notice.
