On behalf of the stakeholders committed to restoring and enhancing the fisheries of the Great Lakes, the Committee of Canadian Advisors to the Great Lakes Fishery Commission (GLFC) congratulates the Ontario government on its recent decision to defer development of offshore wind turbine projects until further scientific information is garnered, analyzed, and impacts assessed.

In June 2010, along with our colleagues in the United States, we asked the Ontario government to reexamine their approach to wind turbine development in the Great Lakes, and to their credit, they have done just that (attached please see the Resolution of June 2010).
