I am opposed. Most Ontarians are going to be obtaining their drinking water from sources where there is storm water runoff. Do we want to even consider the nightmare and the health costs down the line from the fiascos that would result from this. Read more

Dear Sirs, I do not support the regulatory changes proposed. Surely, there are ways to improve efficiency without removing oversight and review prior to approval. Read more

I am opposed to the movement towards self regulation or Permit By Rule. I feel we need to continue with ECA or COA as polluters will be irresponsible and fail to self register under EASR for these waste management systems proposed.

I object to this proposal. It doesn't streamline the PBR framework, it prevents necessary checks on industries that make sure their activities are safe and sustainable for the short and longterm health of Ontarians and the environment. The regulatory framework should be strengthened, not undermined.

Welcome to climate change mitigation- making changes that can stop damage before it occurs, and also deal with damages that do occur (adaptation). One fact of life in our new climate world is the size, the frequency and the destruction capacity of storms. Read more
