I oppose these sweeping changes that fast-track mining permits and restrict participation in Ontario’s energy sector. These proposals weaken oversight, prioritize resource exploitation, and silence local voices.

Where it states:
Providing the Minister with the authority to suspend or shut down all or some functions of the MLAS where desirable to protect the strategic national mineral supply chain.
