The following e-mail was sent to the Ministry of the Environment on July 6, 2011.
Hello Mr. Sanzo,
As described in the attached letter, we are concerned that the proponent has not addressed the significant environmental issue of the change in direction of the water entering the Moon River.
As a result, there are unaddressed public safety and marine navigation issues.
Thank you for your attention to this.

The process for this proposed project sounds good on paper, but the reality is that it is fundamentally flawed. Accordingly, this letter was sent to Minister Kathleen Wynne.
The Minister of the Environment believes this environmental assessment process is fair and science-based, yet read the facts here, and specific examples of a bad decision based on bad information as made by the Director of the Environmental Assessment and Approvals Branch of the Ministry of the Environment.

The proponent has made statements which are misleading and which are “less-than-truthful” (much less). We have therefore sent this letter to the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministers of the Environment, Tourism and Culture, Natural Resources, and Energy and Infrastructure, and also to our MP.
