What is called “EA modernisation” is actually the Ford government’s continuation of a dour, Libertarian-based, further destruction of Ontario’s democracy. The EA has been reduced by previous governments but not allowing meaningful participation by the electorate, particularly involving our First Nations, is simply IMMORAL. I live in Northwestern Ontario and have seen first-hand what environmental damage is done by unrestricted logging, mining and even trapping.
The Registry notice provides no environmental reasons or compelling evidence to support these revisions, and will not be nearly as robust, and accountable! People in Ontario cannot request the Minister to refer a Streamlined Class EA project to the independent Ontario Land Tribunal for a public hearing and decision.
This is plainly and obviously fascism.
