The Federal government…

The Federal government thinks that their "robust" Federal Chemicals Management Plan can replace environmental assessment laws in Ontario? Who do these people think they are? Where are all the environmental lawyers hiding?

NOT only is the Federal Government clearly stepping out of what is constitutional law between Federal and Provincial government, but using their "robust" FCMP model for all and any Environmental Assessment is not the "broad" solution for any specific EA.

Environmental law for both provincial and federal is becoming toothless, but, allocating environmental assessment into federal obtusity is an infinite dilution factor. Which is what the Bill is be designed to be. Absolutely useless red tape.

What is important to remember is that this irreplaceable watershed will be divided and decimated by greed and development. Oak Ridges Moraine Kettle lakes - which are pure water aquifer fed lakes - will dry up and disappear. A nice townhouse development filled with new Canadians will be very happy there! They can be told of stories long ago where the environment was protected and trees existed. The land was not sterilized with chemical enhancements for healthy townhouse lawns.

Good luck, Ontario.
