  Statement 
  from Minister of the Environment John Wilkinson Regarding Highland Companies 
  Proposed Quarry in Dufferin County
  
  
  September 1, 2011
  
  
  "After careful consideration, the Minister of Natural Resources and I have 
  agreed to bring forward a regulation making Highland Companies subject to the 
  requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act. As a result, the company 
  will be required to undertake a comprehensive Environmental Assessment for the 
  proposed quarry in Melancthon Township.
  Ministry of the Environment officials have thoroughly examined the 
  technical reports which were submitted by the quarry proponents.  Based 
  on a review of those reports and because of the unique nature of the 
  Melancthon quarry proposal, I believe a full Environmental Assessment is 
  necessary.
  The McGuinty government is committed to protecting our water and our 
  environment. Today's decision ensures that a transparent and independent 
  assessment of the environmental impacts of Melancthon quarry proposal will be 
  conducted."
