Bulletin summary

Get-R-Done Farms was issued a licence to extract aggregate from a pit in the County of Middlesex

Why consultation isn't required

On April 1, 2020, the Ontario Government made a temporary regulation to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak. Ontario Regulation 115/20 exempts all proposals for policies, acts, regulations and instruments from posting requirements under the EBR until 30 days after the declared emergency is terminated.

Ontario Regulation 115/20 was revoked on June 15, 2020, however, we are posting this decision as a bulletin because the proposal was posted on April 3, 2020 while Ontario Regulation 115/20 was in effect.

Although consultation was not required, the ministry did consult with the public on this proposal by posting ERO 019-1513 for public comment from April 3 – May 19, 2020. To ensure transparency, the ministry is providing details of its decision and the effects of consultation on decision-making in this notice.
