It was a typical Woolwich "review" which means that it was done for appearances sake not to reform or improve it. Afterall they has been working perfectly just as planned by Chemtura and the Ont. Ministry of Environment . TRAC ended up replacing them and stands for either Totally Rotten and Corrupt or what Woolwich calls it which is disingenuous. Regardless there was exactly zero improvement from the public's viewpoint and interest.
The Woolwich Observer published a story titled "Woolwich to review how its environmental watchdog functions" written by Leah Gerber on November 9, 2023. In it Sebastian was the only member to tell it like it is with multiple criticisms and concerns including the committee being routinely at a disadvantage technically and often bulldozed. Other members such as Eric Hodgins, Wilson Lau and Susan Bryant thought that that was just fine. They made excuses as well as deflected towards better communications with the public.
The bottom line is that the committee can suggest this or that and even criticize something strongly but it goes nowhere if Lanxess and the MECP are not in favour of it. One obvious example is RAC, TAG & TRAC's attempts to get a commitment to clean part of the Canagagigue Creek whether semi fake "hotspots" or actually any part of the downstream highly contaminated Creek. All they have commitment wise is delay, delay and more delay without any commitment whatsoever to do a damn thing.
