Ontario's Environmental
Bill of Rights requires that all new legislation, policies, and instruments be posted
on an environmental registry for public review and comment prior to final approval. This
means that the Ontario public has the opportunity to comment on any new initiatives and,
if they feel it will adversely affect the environment, request a public review.
For more information on the EBR and the Environmental
Commissioner of Ontario, you can view the user's guide published by the Environmental
Commissioner's Office titled Ontario's Environmental Bill
of Rights And You .
