Environment Commissioner Lashes out at the MNR

Ontario's environmental commissioner says the government isn't following through on any of its environmental promises.

In his annual report, Gord Miller says environmental legislation the government has passed is being undermined by its inaction.

Miller says the ministries of natural resources is not given enough tools to get the job done.

Miller is critical of an oversight from the Ontario government allowing mining companies to illegally construct mining camps and airstrips in the far north.
