I support the proposed changes to the Crown Forest Sustainability Act in general. I do have a concern about the Minister's extension of the term of a Forest Management Plan.

The posting is particularly vague and the requirement to view supporting materials in person is not in line with transparent governance. As a member of the public I would at least like to have seen a summary of the main findings that support this work available online.

It is important that these easements and alterations in regulations do not take place. Recently, the Ontario government has been reducing environmental protections in favour of business opportunities.

MNRF should still be required to comment on Crown forestry.
It appears that these proposed statutes would almost eliminate the need for MNRF consultation leading to the obliteration of environmental governance. (making MNRF obsolete).

It is vital MNRF approve annual work schedules to ensure compliance with the FMP. We have seen other examples of self-regulation gone bad...Forestry can not self regulate!

The proposed changes to the Crown Forest Sustainability ACT are unacceptable to me as the owner of 145 acres of forested land abutting upon Crown Forest.

I believe that the province's proposed changes to the Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act to implement a one window approach for waterpower facilities while at the same time removing the duplicative requirement of a Permit to Take Water under the Ontario Water Resources Act is a sound decision that wil

SUBJECT: ERO 019-0545 Waterpower Exemption from Permits To Take Water
I am writing to express my strong support for the proposed exemption of waterpower facilities from duplicative requirement of a Permit to Take Water (PTTW) under the Ontario Water Resources Act.

Does this mean that the MNRF wouldn't have to review the AWS? Because if that is the case, it is a very bad idea.. I have reviewed many annual work schedules and have found mistakes that required edits or further detail in order to approve
I oppose all these proposed changes on the grounds that MNRF's expertise and recommendations will be obsolete and great and irreversible harm will be done to crown lands.

I wish to voice my objection to the removal of the MNRF involvement in approving the Annual Work Schedule for ANY forest company or management plan. With the introduction of ten year plans today, it is imperative that the MNRF has a say annually on what is transpiring on the Land Base.

Dear Sirs and Madam:
I am writing to express my concerns over the proposed Omnibus Bill 132, which would make multiple cuts to 14 different Acts reflecting legislation across several Ministries. The proposed changes in the Bill are sweeping and its potential consequences are highly concerning.

As a representative of a Mining and Exploration company, the company I work for would want to be able to review any permits that are proposed for removing forest resources from a crown forest.
Read more
Changes to the Crown Forestry Sustainability Act could mean that new permits would not be required, and the proposals could introduce other Minister powers which include not having to prioritize forest protection in the area of the permit approval process.

The proposed changes in Bill 132 in the Aggregate Resources Act regarding the intended permission to dig beneath the water table is irresponsible and unnecessary. From my understanding, there is no shortage of aggregate materials available.

As a professional who has worked for MECP, MNRF and now as an Environmental Consultant supporting the development, maintenance and upgrades of waterpower facilities; it is obvious that an operational site is not taking water from a natural source for use other than diverting the watercourse for the

The MNRF have a specific division for forestry, it is in their name. How can anyone expect that a logging company, or those using the forest will police themselves if they are breaking the law. Someone that speeds on a highway sure wouldn't tell the OPP that they deserve a ticket.
