I agree with everything I have read on this issue. I think they should not be allowed at all. How can the pollution risk be controlled at all. I have a cottage on GB where I pay 5000 dollars a year taxes. If one of these units anchors near my property, I would not be very happy.
This amendment would not be appropriate for smaller lakes like lake Simcoe. Too many resources would be wasted policing when they can't even police current boating regulations. Plus this sounds like it has been setup by cottagers that don't want boats near their properties.
The proposed changes are unacceptable and appear to cater to a small segment of the population.
The changes definitely impact reasonable mooring.

As a boater, I ask you to vote against against this amendment. It will have a disastrous effect on recreational boating in the province. Please keep our waters public and accessible for Ontarians and visitors.

I noticed a reference to grey water but, it did nothe include human waste (poop or per) specifically.
I have minimal concern with camping on public waters but have many concerns associated to campers personal waste.
I support the proposals to amend Ontario Regulation 161/17 (O. Reg. 161/17) under the Public Lands Act described in ERO 019-6590 posted by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry on February 24, 2023.

I support the proposed changes in the legislation regarding camping on water over Ontario’s public lands. It is important to provide access to all residents and not have people try to take advantage of public areas for their individual use.

This proposal includes a particularly troublesome item:
"adding a new condition to prohibit camping on water within 300 meters of a developed shoreline, including any waterfront structure, dock, boathouse, erosion control structure, altered shoreline, boat launch and/or fill."

As a long time, pleasure craft owner and current member of a yacht club, I feel this legislation would have an adverse effect on many recreational boaters. . Many of us will anchor close to shore for one or two nights as part of the boating experience.

I agree with the proposal to amend ontario regulation 161/17. There needs to be changes made to protect the waters from these containers. There needs to be laws against people being able to plunk these containers where ever they feel like it and there be no repercussions.
