I disagree that there is no obligation to post this notice on the environmental registry. In Greenpeace Canada (2471256 CANADA INC.) v. Minister of the Environment it referred to 30 (1) of the Environmental Bill of Rights and ruled that an election is not equivalent to public consultation. "Notice of the decision to the public and to the Auditor General." is required in order to avoid public consultation. I agree with comments made by Ontario Nature. with regards to the Draft Policy Intent for SEZ Criteria

Economic Zones should never be used as it undermines democratic principles and dismisses important public feedback that may not have been thought of previously. In addition, economic zones must not be used to allow harm to endangered wildlife or landscapes and must not conflict with federal legislation

‘moon-shot’ projects should not be considered as its contrary to the proposed criteria of a "High Likelihood of Success"

Labour standards and environmental protections appear to be lacking from successful outcomes

Regarding Indigenous Communities Consultation Feedback

It is concerning that Free, Prior, and Informed Consent was not included in the draft regulations as Ontario Nature mentioned Canada ratified UNDRIP in 2021 and this would violate international law. I am concerned that "Restrict zone designation in areas of environmental or cultural
significance or subject to ongoing land claims." was rejected

regarding CRITERIA FOR DESIGNATIONS there is an over reliance on the opinion of the Minister
