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Ontario Regulation 115/20 was revoked on June 15, 2020, however, we are posting this decision as a bulletin as because the proposal was posted on June 4, 2020 while Ontario Regulation 115/20 was in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# 019-1860 for public comment from June 4, 2020 to July 4, 2020. To ensure transparency, the ministry is providing details of its decision and the effects of consultation on decision-making in this notice.
