Intervenors included: Canadian Human Rights Commission, Ontario Human Rights Commission, Advocacy Centre for Tenants Ontario, African Canadian Legal Clinic, Empowerment Council--Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, and Social Benefits Tribunal. The legislation also would establish a new pre-application fee of $50,000 for major projects (80 MW or greater) to be available to intervenors, and a fee of $20,000 for non-major facilities or repowering projects that would increase the net generation by less than 80 MW. That's what we are; we're intervenors to manage a process. |
