Environment committee  There is no mining in the park currently, but because it is germane to the discussion on the policies, the policy on the Oak Ridges Moraine, which the park borders, and the greenbelt—two of the major issues—if you talk to any of the environmental or farming groups, there is an op

Environment committee  The vast majority of it is, yes.

Environment committee  To the best of our knowledge, they have not met the standards of land management in the park, and I'll just leave it at that.

Environment committee  Yes, Mr. Chair. First, all of the regulations concerning pipeline safety would be in force, but as people will note, the Government of Ontario has actually asked for that land to be excluded from the park land.

Environment committee  Over the past two years, we in fact have established with all of the landholders a landholders' table, where we have looked at everybody who currently has ownership of any land within the park study area. We set that up and have had a meeting at least once a month with that group
