New report also concludes government broke its own laws by failing to consult on environmental changes

Ontario’s Environment Ministry “automatically” approves permits for developers that harm at-risk species, the province’s auditor-general said Monday in a report that also concludes the government broke its own law by failing to consult the public before making legislative changes that affect the environment.

“The Ministry is essentially facilitating development rather than protecting species at risk,” Ms. Lysyk said in a press release. Ms. Lysyk’s report also says government ministries, including the Environment Ministry, “deliberately avoided consulting the public on environmentally significant decisions” over the past year, defying the province’s Environmental Bill of Rights.

The audit’s findings on the Environmental Bill of Rights echoed some of those from a decision by Ontario’s Divisional Court in September, in a case brought by a number of environmental groups.

Doug is keeping Bonnie busy busy busy

Ontario permits the murder of countless disabled but after 20 years disabled, 45% below poverty and nothing in the news. Is Globe and mail that oblivious? Incompetent, heartless, out of touch? disabledlivesmatter

CPC ThugFord NEVER intended to protect the environment. It was ALWAYS his plan to sell off TheGreenbelt to his developer buddies as captured in this video. StopVotingForAssholes NeverVoteConservative

What's the LOSS of a few at-risk SPECIES compared to Doug Ford's donors getting the decisions they PAID for?

Humanity is an 'at risk species' all you have to do is read some twitter to see that. Idiots are taking over.

development comes first....like in Amazonia...

Premier has lost 2 years for him and his buddies to make money (thanks to covid). So he has a bit of catching up to do. Got just over 6 months now. Better hurry eh! Laid off inspectors and now this. Good start eh!

DF is an 'at risk' species.

Meanwhile Doug's new election promises include $1 for Family pack of Lays Chips hoping the Beer and Gasoline promises have been forgotten. onpoli

Ontario Senator Josee Forest-Niesing dies at 56 after battle with COVID-19She was fully vaccinated but was considered especially vulnerable due to an autoimmune condition that had affected her lungs for the last 15 years. That is so sad. Condolences to family and friends! Awful lot of CPC_HQ with vaccine exemptions ... they must all be transplant recipients. It certainly wasn't a heart or brain they got - or maybe they just got phoney exemptions? C'mon erinotoole - 'fess up. Just how many caucus members have exemptions? RIP 🙏
