This notice is for informational purposes only. There is no requirement to consult on this initiative on the Environmental Registry of Ontario. Learn more about the types of notices on the registry.
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.
Although consultation was not required, the ministry did consult with the public on this proposal by posting ERO# 019-1660 for public comment from April 15, 2020 to May 15, 2020. To ensure transparency, the ministry is providing details of its decision and the effects of consultation on decision-making in this notice.
