I am a very very concerned citizen who adamantly opposes the streamlining of the permit process. Fast tracking a process, which should take into account a great number of factors before making a decision is risky and careless. Read more

I am very much opposed to this proposed change. I cannot fathom why you would even be considering it. Everything to do with the Health of our province deserves More scrutiny- not less. Please do the RIGHT thing. Read more

This proposal is lack of consultation with municipalities in Ontario. Especially for small municipalities, there is no engineer to review or understand stormwater management design. Read more

As an industrial owner, this proposal shows that the Ministry is removing its responsibility to regulate this industry but increase the burden of industrial owners. Read more

It would appear to me that this relaxation of the rules concerning wastewater and stormwater management is akin to the actions of the Provincial government which led to the worst failure of public health protection in the history of the Province; namely the Walkerton Tragedy. Read more

There are major concerns in regard to this proposal as it relates to our community in Porcupine, Ontario.

Removing the application and approvals process should never happen! Those protections are there because they need to be there. I am absolutely opposed to any changes to this instrument that will weaken any current processes that protect our environment. Read more

Proper regulation should never be seen as a 'burden'. It has become a 'burden' to those who seek profit over human health. Please uphold and enhance environmental protection. Do not proceed with this proposal as it further erodes protection that was put in place for the right reasons.
