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Ontario Regulation 115/20 was revoked on June 15, 2020, however, we are posting this decision as a bulletin as because the proposal was posted on April 20, 2020 while Ontario Regulation 115/20 was in effect.
Although consultation was not required, the ministry did consulted with the public on this proposal by posting ERO# 019-1652 for public comment from April 20, 2020 - May 20, 2020. To ensure transparency, the ministry is providing details of its decision and the effects of consultation on decision-making in this notice.
