not sure if you guys seen this but I hope something comes out of this
Model 3 Owners Club on Twitter . Hopefully the cap and trade cancellation can be delayed?
Yes, this is an awesome development. The Canadian Environmental Law Association has filed an application for review.
REASONS FOR REQUESTED REVIEW
The Applicants submit that O.Reg. 386/18 (“the Regulation”) should be immediately reviewed and revoked on the grounds that:
1. The Regulation was not subject to public notice and comment under the EBR and the Minister did not consider the public’s comments prior to its passage, which is in direct contravention of the mandatory duties imposed under Part II of the EBR in
relation to public participation.
2. As a matter of law, the Minister’s decision not to post the Regulation on the Environmental Registry for public comment
cannot be justified under any of the statutory exceptions to public participation under the EBR.
3. The Regulation’s immediate termination of the province’s cap - and - trade program is contrary to the public interest and
may cause or contribute to significant harm to the environment and human health and safety, particularly since the provincial
government has not announced any alternative programs that will be undertaken in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
and transition Ontario to a resilient low - carbon economy.
