<div>Last week some of us were alerted by Environmental
Defence to some of the dangers in Ontario omnibus Bill
132. The committee is holding hearings now. While it
is too late to apply to make presentations in person
to the committee, there are still ways to fight this
bill. Here is a summary of the resources and ways for
you to follow up (compiled by London Chapter member
Margo Does and myself). </div>
