I, as an individual, agree with the Canadian Environmental Law Association in the following points.

I am providing a single set of comments in response to the policy and regulation proposals in the following postings on the Environmental Registry of Ontario: ERO #019-6951, ERO #019-6853, ERO #019-6963, and ERO #019-6928 ("ERO Proposals"), as these proposals are intended to implement a single packa
