-The following documents, and bird expert reviews were submitted to lead Ministries and CHDI in support of this elevation request.

- Read Ministry of Energy's proposed changes i.e. all the legal requirements that will enable wind and other energy projects to be approved and erected without public consultation, under what they are calling "the substituted process".

All Ministries apparently should abdicate all their regulatory and approval responsibilities in favour of this new "substituted process", and in this new perfect, energy driven world, the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) will become the sole approval authority for siting and environmental issues.  The new "Environmental Assessment Report", or EAR, as they are calling it, will take care of all these permitting delays by removing municipalities and other stakeholders from the entire process in the name of the public good - ie must have new energy at all costs.  Our democratic rights are being taken away from us. Please write to the Ministry of Energy to make known your position to this proposed change.
