|

Recently,
the Canadian Chamber of Commerce released a report
calling for businesses to act quickly to grab a
share of the global market before they get
left behind.
According to the report, entitled Canadian
Businesses Go Global For Growth, projections
suggest the global economic balance of power will
continue to transition toward developing
countries, and their share of global trade will
increase further. These trends present new
challenges and opportunities.
The report can be viewed here.

ONTARIO
ADOPTING RISK-BASED APPROVALS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE
|
|
|
|
The Ministry
of the Environment is attempting to take a
more business-friendly approach to environmental
regulation through proposed amendments to the
existing Environmental Protection Act and the Ontario
Water Resources Act.
The
Amendments, which are part of the government’s Open
for Business initiative, would introduce a risk-based
approval system for all business operations that
contain air emissions, waste management systems,
waste disposal sites, and/or sewage works.
