Hi All:<\/p>\n
The NS Environment Act proposed changes are out for public comment due August 22nd. You can find it here: www.gov.ns.ca\/nse<\/a><\/p>\n Please try to comment.<\/p>\n It looks like they are trying to give even more discretionary power to the Minister (which will mean no checks and balances); changing their definition of “adverse effects” so it does NOT include the citizens rights to have reasonable enjoyment, etc. of their property (industrial nuisances moving right into your neighborhood); Appeal process – not allowing court to review the facts.<\/p>\n These, among other things, are NOT good. Most of it looks like they are trying to increase their steam-rolling methods… One good thing: At least there is some mention of compliance\/enforcement…<\/p>\n Please review and comment.
