Environmental Commissioner of Ontario : ウィキペディア英語版 | Environmental Commissioner of Ontario The Environmental Commissioner of Ontario ("ECO") is an officer of the Legislative Assembly, in Ontario, Canada. As such, the Commissioner does not report to any Ministry, but rather to the Legislature itself. The Commissioner is appointed by the government, on the advice of the Legislature, for a term of five years, and must swear to "faithfully and impartially exercise the functions of the office," which is to uphold and protect the ''Environmental Bill of Rights (EBR)''. The Commissioner heads an office of 24 staff, who support the Commissioner in overseeing the administration of the ''EBR'' and producing reports to the Legislature. ==The ''Environmental Bill of Rights'' and the mandate of the Commissioner== The intent of the ''EBR'' is to give Ontarians rights to participate in environmental decision-making, and to hold ministries accountable for their decisions as they affect the environment. The ''EBR'' also established the Environmental Registry, an online database where ministries post environmentally significant proposals and decisions for public notice and comment.〔http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/statutes/english/elaws_statutes_93e28_e.htm〕 In 2009, the ''EBR'' was amended to give the ECO the responsibility to report annually on Ontario's progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and on conserving energy.〔http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/source/statutes/english/2009/elaws_src_s09012_e.htm〕
