Ontario waiting to defend wind-turbine approval process as constitutional

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 18 Nov, 2014 12:35 PM

    LONDON, Ont. — The Ontario government has yet to get its chance to argue in favour of its wind-farm approval process.

    A lawyer for four families is in front of Divisional Court in London, Ont., for a second day.

    He wants the court to order new approval hearings for three wind-energy projects.

    He also wants the court to change the law to allow residents to argue turbines could create a "reasonable prospect of serious harm."

    The three projects at issue — including one with 140 wind turbines near Goderich, Ont. — are all currently approved and off the ground.

    The government maintains the law governing the review process is constitutional.
