Environmental and Natural Resources and Energy Law section program Environmental Considerations on Energy and Infrastructure Projects

This was my first webnar: The OBA kindly let me view the talk given by Micheal Lyle
given at 8:30am (7:30am Central)- I was lucky , because the province /city/ of Winnipeg decided to cut Electricity at 9 am. I missed two other webnars because of this action.
Anyway,
Micheal kindly excused himself for being a bit worse for wear- because he had just returned from Thunder Bay the day before on a consultation process with various northern communities. He was very impressed by the land and its people. But flying back to Toronto was a bit of a hassle; where the Island ,where Porter Airlines lands was fog bound;and they were diverted unexpectedly to Pearson, where they had to wait an hour on the tarmac; then another hour for their baggage....But moving on..
IPSP: of the Province of Ontario; under the present Liberal Government.
I-Integrated
P-Power
S-System
P-Plan
The first IPSP report was 7000 pages long- and Mr.Lyle is apparently one of he few who read it all.
The second IPSP report is a long term (20 years)plan spanning till 2030; being that most cost effective , with the rate-payer in mind.
