I am asking the Provincial Government to:

• Reconsider overriding local planning and work collaboratively with municipalities to ensure property owners and tax paying citizens expectations are considered.

• Require all proposed aggregate applications with all categories of potential waterway impacts (i.e.: groundwater, feeder streams, wetlands, fissures etc.) to participate in the more robust application process requirement for quarries below the waterline, set out in the Provincial announcement – in concert with the Government’s protection of water resources policies.

• Consider a 2,000-metre setback requirement from all waterfront designations in alignment with many Official Town Plans.
