Regarding legislation to move to a project list approach for the Environmental Assessment Act, I evaluate this approach to be an inappropriate, unjustified, and unacceptable one. The project list approach will rollback current EA requirements for these environmentally significant projects.

This so-called "reform" appears to be another move by our present provincial government to evade or dilute present requirements for proper environmental assessment of new projects.

This is an inappropriate, unjustified, and unacceptable rollback of current EA requirements for environmentally significant projects for several reasons:
the Streamlined EA process is not as robust, accountable, or participatory as the Comprehensive EA process;

I am vehemently opposed to proposed changes in the EA process which exempts a longer list of infrastructure projects from a Comprehensive EA.

I wish to comment on ERO 0-19-6705, 019-6693 and 019-4219, regarding changes, especially the stream-lining of Environmental Assessments. Please note that Provincial primiers and their parties are temporary.

These proposed changes remove rights of individual Ontarians to request a project to be bumped up to a Comprehensive EA. It also removes Ontarian's ability to refer a project to the Ontario Land Tribunal. These changes are not recommended and I cannot support.
Your proposed changes to the Environtmental Protection Act is basically a methodology to allow your government to ignore years of Environmental Safety Guardrails/Processes in order to support your undemocratic approach to approving highways and greenbelt infringements that are not even necessary.

Hello,
I do not think these proposed changes ("streamlining") will be in the best interest of protecting environmental processes, and therefore will harm human health, which we know through robust research is inextricably linked to ecosystem health.

In this time of climate crisis, it's ever more important to protect our wetlands, threatened species and biodiversity. Your proposed actions weaken all these areas. To ensure the healthy livability of Ontario, please withdraw these proposed changes.
Please accept that preserving our environmental heritage is important. Once it is gone, the damage is irreversible. Development in these few viable habitats are not justified. I support CELA and hope that your plans are tied up in lawsuits for a long time. Just STOP!

The so-called “EA modernization” initiative being proposed to alter the Environmental Assessment Act may have fit the notion of modernization in the past where notions of economic efficiency reigned supreme, but now a true modernization initiative should make ecology paramount.

To the Provincial Government of Ontario:
It should be illegal to change the rules of the game after it has started, but that is what is proposed here.

At a time when there is a indisputable scientific evidence that climate change is happening and largely caused by human activity, combined with a plethora of cautionary tales from around the world of natural areas which were disturbed/drained/paved over for human use with devastating results, it is

My family, friends and community need stricter, not less environmental protections in the EA Act.
This is a wholesale give away of our environment and our collective future.
Given the worldwide concerns about biodiversity loss and related impacts on our climate, I have grave concerns about any move to water down (“Streamline”) Ontario’s Environmental Assessment Act.
