This proposed change should not be approved. While it "streamlines" the process for companies wanting to extract fresh water, it also removes all of the approval processes that govern the permits.

Water is our most valuable resource. Instead of protecting it, your government wants to make it near impossible for permits to ever expire, be cancelled, or revoked. If a permit is ever terminated, for any reason, like a person lied to get it, under this proposal it could be revived.

I strongly oppose ERO #025-0730, “Proposed changes to provide flexibility for water taking activities.” This proposed regulatory amendment represents a sweeping erosion of Ontario’s environmental protections.

I strongly disagree with this proposal. Water is the key to life and is a very important resource. Ontario needs to be diligent with this resource and ensure its protection. This proposal erodes protective measures with our water and is a fallacy.

As an Ontarian that regularly enjoys the outdoors and many water related activities, I write in strong opposition to ERO #025-0730, “Proposed changes to provide flexibility for water taking activities.” I am further concerned that not all Ontarians have access to safe, clean drinking water.

Opposing ERO #025-0730: “Proposed changes to provide flexibility for water taking activities"

- Strip municipalities of their power to determine what is best for their community
- Allow corporations to buy access to groundwater like real estate

I have serious concerns around this proposal, mainly that once again this government proposes policy that violates Indigenous Rights, incentivizes private ownership and profit for a few over public safety and environmental safety that benefit us all.

I strongly oppose the proposed changes to the permitting process. Freshwater is an increasingly precious resource, and overdrawing limits its ability to renew itself.
