I am absolutely against the suggested changes to the Environmental Protection Act. This is not a safe way to go about "streamlining". Public consultation and input is critical to ensure proper development.

The proposed amendments will ensure appropriate environmental protections are in place while reducing regulatory burden for construction and infrastructure projects.

Dear Minister Khanjin,
The MECP finished up their final webinar related to this package of proposals only 4 days ago. I am requesting a reset of the public comment period to 145 so that Ontarians like myself have more time to review these proposals and make comment.
Thank you.

I am opposed to this. There are good reasons based on science and fact and democracy that these activities were regulated.
If this proposal passes - water raking will take place without public consultation, without the need to notify conservation authorities, etc.

I am concerned that conservation authorities will no longer be informed and that this may not align with a changing climate as too much water may be taken resulting in possible water shortages and public participation is important
Our group is opposed to this. There are good reasons based on science facts that these activities were regulated.

On the ground studies MUST be done to fully understand the impact of water taking on each individual site, not based on some computer modeling from some far away location. No one has tested our wells to find out what the the baseline of water composition is.

As a farmer I am in support of the current method of evaluating water-taking by industry. Any change in this level of approval for a permit to take water would be the end of trying to protect our very precious ground water.
