Wind Development in Ontario and the Green Energy and
Green Economy Act, 2009: The New Rules of Engagement
Date:
October 6 2009

However, amendments to several existing statutes, including the Environmental Protection Act, Environmental Assessment Act, and the Planning Act, were not proclaimed into force when the Act passed into law, as the underlying regulatory regime had yet to be developed.
