Please oppose ERO #025-0730 because it risks weakening Ontario’s environmental protections and undermines public and Indigenous rights. The proposed changes could apply to all water permits, including those for industrial and commercial use, and may even affect expired permits, raising serious concerns about accountability. This could lead to unchecked water extraction, harming communities, ecosystems, and future water security. Most Ontarians have called for stronger oversight, not more privatization and privatized water rights. Please reject these changes and protect water as a public resource for everyone.
