Waste management is such a critical matter. Exposure to asbestos and other hazardous waste is a danger to human health. At no time should these be allowed to be self regulated; ever! Biomedical waste can be infectious and can potentially lead to the spread of infectious diseases. Read more

I strongly disagree with any reduction of regulations, and of public and government oversight on the hazardous waste industry. These businesses are operating on small margins and will look for any ways they can to reduce monetary costs, regardless of the costs to the environment and human health. 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 feel that streamlining waste management systems that involve asbestos, biomedical, hazardous, liquid industrial, treated waste, etc. from existing licensing requirements would be detrimental to the Environment and Our Health and Safety. Read more

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.
