The Government of Ontario is contemplating the enactment of legislation dealing with Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPP), and in that regard it has appointed a Committee which will shortly be receiving submissions from interested parties regarding this litigation.    It is expected that this legislation, which is enacted in 28 U.S. States, as well as the Province of Quebec, will facilitate active involvement in environmental issues and prevent the silencing of critics by use of SLAPP lawsuits.
