The EBR must protect our substantive right to a healthy environment for all Ontarians, and must guarantee our right to breath clean air, drink safe water, enjoy a nontoxic environment, and to ensure healthy ecosystems for our present and future generations. The EBR should prevent the destruction of natural habitat, and ensure sustainability and biodiversity. The EBR must also ensure a citizen’s right to apply for leave to appeal a Director or Minister’s decision before an independent and impartial tribunal, the Environmental Review Tribunal. This must all be explicitly spelled out in Ontario’s EBR.
