<p>It is the ‘unequivocal opinion’ of environmental lawyer David
Donnelly, that “<strong>Stratford Council has the complete authority
without legal liability to deny Xinyi’s proposal for a $6 million cost
sharing agreement</strong>”. Donnelly, one of Canada’s leading
environmental lawyers, stated this in a letter delivered to Mayor Dan
Mathieson and Stratford Council this morning on behalf of Wellington
Water Watchers, and a number of citizens of the City of Stratford.</p>
<p>Donnelly reinforced the demand of his community client stating “the
City of Stratford must request that the Minister of Municipal Affairs
revoke the Minister’s Zoning Order (“MZO”) permitting the Xinyi
facility”.</p>
<p>Donnelly law sent a letter to Mayor and Council at the direction of
Wellington Water Watchers in advance of the 7pm Tuesday December
8<sup>th</sup>, online community meeting at which David Donnelly is
one of the featured speakers.

The <span>full text of the letter from Donnelly Law</span> to Mayor
Mathieson and Stratford Council is <a shape="rect" href="http://www.wellingtonwaterwatchers.ca/r?u=Y-j3aXp0ylLvsSnO2PHY30i1wKb5l7DRMzbzEeBhzYru-OSWMcWhk86VjikOnQzd3J25yDdrYgnuuExKK_Vfweo5_S2n9Jkj6Q1kInWryww&e=a63f584a59a0d87ccf92e3e3b4edd7e4&utm_source=wellingtonwaterwatchers&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=xinyi_legal_update&n=3" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">available

<p>The integrity of the MZO is now also in question. On December 2,
2020 a complaint was filed by J. Burch MPP urging the Ontario
Integrity Commissioner to investigate if the Ford government's MZO
forcing Stratford to accept a float glass factory violated the
<em>Lobbyists Registration Act</em>. According to the letter, “Despite
evidence of extensive collaboration between Xinyi, GSP Group and the
provincial government over the two years prior to the MZO, the
province’s lobbyist registry shows no record of registration by either
Xinyi or GSP Group.” The integrity of the MZO and scheme to bring
Xinyi to Stratford is now very much in question.</p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">300 people have already RSVP’d!</p>
<p>Momentum is building in the community to say no to Xinyi and to
demand Mayor and Council say no to Xinyi. Join with others in the
community on <a shape="rect" href="https://partner-wellingtonwaterwatchers.nationbuilder.com/zoom_community_meeting_for_get_concerned_stratford?e=a63f584a59a0d87ccf92e3e3b4edd7e4&utm_source=wellingtonwaterwatchers&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=xinyi_legal_update&n=4" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tuesday
