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. Read more

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. Read more

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). Read more

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! Read more

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. Read more

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. Read more

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.

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. Read more

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. Read more

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 Read more

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. Read more
