Before a full gallery at its Committee of the Whole meeting Thursday, council unanimously showed support to CCSAGE (Concerned Citizens for Safe and Appropriate Green Energy) in its early stages of legal proceedings.
CCSAGE seeks a Judicial Review in Divisional Court to challenge the Green Energy Act and how it relates to the Renewable Energy Approval (REA) issued for wpd’s project in South Marysburgh.
The application’s purpose is to ask the Supreme Court of Ontario if the REA shows institutional, procedural or operational bias by various ministries; is it fair to place the burden entirely on rural areas.
The GEA removes powers from municipalities and CCSAGE notes it takes no meaningful account of the impact on health, endangered species, or local economy, tourism or property and business values.
