We thank all the signatories and have sent in our final submission - directly to the Canadian and Ontario ministers responsible for the environment:
Dear Ministers Dabrusin and McCarthy,
We take the liberty of writing directly to you because the issues of concern to us, and the more than 150 signatories in our email campaign on the Canada-Ontario Agreement on Great Lakes Water Quality and Ecosystem Health (COA), require both policy leadership and appropriate funding from the highest level.
That leadership cannot come from your staff, whom we copy, for whom we have great admiration but believe are constrained by a lack of both government vision and adequate resources.
