This notice is for informational purposes only. There is no requirement to consult on this initiative on the Environmental Registry of Ontario. Learn more about the types of notices on the registry.
Why consultation isn't required
On April 1, 2020, the Ontario Government made a temporary regulation to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak. Ontario Regulation 115/20 exempted all proposals for policies, acts, regulations and instruments from posting requirements under the EBR.
Ontario Regulation 115/20 was revoked on June 15, 2020, however, we are posting this decision as a bulletin because the proposal was posted on April 22, 2020 while Ontario Regulation 115/20 was in effect.
Although consultation was not required, the ministry did consult with the public on this proposal by posting ERO# 019-1678 for public comment from April 22, 2020. To ensure transparency, the ministry is providing details of its decision and the effects of consultation on decision-making in this notice.

Effects of consultation
Third parties are not able to apply for leave to appeal in respect of proposals which are posted while Ontario Regulation 115/20 is in effect. On April 1, 2020, the Ontario Government made a temporary regulation to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak which exempts all proposals from the requirement to post notices on the ERO. Leave to appeal may only be sought in respect of instruments that are required to be posted to the ERO.
