Is legislation needed in Ontario for source protection planning?
The Advisory Committee has recommended that new stand-alone watershed-based source protection legislation be developed. The legislation would include a schedule setting out the timeline for completion of initial Source Protection Plans, requiring that all plans be started within two years of the effective date of legislation and that all plans be completed within three years of their starting date. All plans would be completed by the end of the fifth year. The legislation will also set out the details for completion of the Source Protection Plans.
