Last year, the Residential and Civil Construction Alliance of Ontario (RCCAO) and the Municipal Engineers Association (MEA) submitted an application to the MOECC requesting a review of the act to identify issues and implement reforms needed to allow municipal proponents to complete MCEAs in a more timely and effective manner.
"What we would like to see is measures being put in place over the next 18 months that will tend to reduce the timelines and simplify the MCEA process so that it’s less expensive, more manageable and quicker,” said Frank Zechner, legal counsel representing the RCCAO and MEA on the matter.
The parties received a letter in mid-April notifying them the ministry will undertake a review of the MCEA as part of the overall review of the EA program.
