"STREAMLINING" and COST CUTTING ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS

Two stories in today's K-W Record caught my eye. They deal at best only indirectly with Woolwich issues, however the attitudes and principles affect us all. The first story deals with the BP oil spill in the Gulf and the second with "the dangers of laissez-faire regulation". Our very own Ontario Ministry of the Environment are big on "self regulation" and "voluntary reporting". It does not and never has worked.
