Provincial Candidate Survey

Provincial Cabinet Minister(s) will be consulting with local Members of Provincial Parliament (MPPs) and making decisions related to the proposed St. Marys Flamborough Quarry - either as decision makers on items such as the Aggregate Resources Act license application, a Permit to Take Water under the Ontario Water Resources Act, source water protection plans under the Ontario Clean Water Act, or as decision makers in a commenting ministry. It is important as voters that we know where the candidates and their respective party stand on the proposed St Marys Flamborough Quarry since its potential impacts are so significant. The information below tells us, which candidates are running for office in which riding. It also tells us if the candidate has taken a position on the proposed quarry and related issues, what the position is, and any additional comments. We hope this information will be helpful as we all deliberate and exercise our democratic right to vote.
