Where it states:
Providing the Minister with the authority to suspend or shut down all or some functions of the MLAS where desirable to protect the strategic national mineral supply chain.
The Minister would consider any risk assessment provided by the Ministry of the Solicitor General, the economic interests of Ontario, and any prescribed factors in making these decisions.
What 'functions' of the Mining Lands Administration System might need to be suspended or shut down?
If protecting supply chain internally means foregoing our own set environmental standards and procedures in the name of extracting more, faster, that would be extremely problematic. That would be akin to declaring a state of emergency just to bypass regulations.
I hope that giving the Minister more power does not mean cutting corners, or having the ability to bypass or forego processes that are meant to protect our people and environment.
