The Great Lakes Protection Act Alliance is supportive of Bill 66, the proposed Great Lakes Protection Act. The Alliance has been engaged in all consultations that have been conducted regarding prior versions of the proposed legislation (specifically, Bill 100 introduced June 2012 and Bill 6 introduced February 2013) that died on the order paper. The Alliance believes that the proposed legislation introduces important new legal and policy tools to help safeguard, restore and protect Ontario’s portion of the Great Lakes–St. Lawrence River Basin.
