My interpretation of what we heard from the Environment Commissioner of Ontario is that this bill would add some positives in terms of public participation and transparency and so on, but it didn't sound like a substantive change in approach to environmental protection.
On the other hand, we had a submission last week, which I'll quote, that said this “would fundamentally change the nature of environmental protection in Canada, increase uncertainty, [and] invite litigation”.
From your review, does this fundamentally change the nature of environmental protection in Canada?
