A MNR proposal to amend the CFSA would remove regulatory hurdles to create roads, utility corridors, and enable mining.

If the new roads will be closed for public access-as many times they are...what is the good in this news for the outdoors people ?

To allow wolves to run down moose and caribou?

I don’t expect to see a noticeable difference in the woods. Currently, if a utility wants to construct a new power line across Crown land, they require a permit to cut the right of way. Going forward they won’t require a permit but will have to follow the “yet-to-be developed”regulations to do it. Permits take time to process (red tape) but aren’t development killers.

In short, don’t expect to see a rash of new mines, power lines and roads as a result of this amendment.
