The Environmental Commissioner of Ontario (ECO; French: Commissaire à l’environnement de l’Ontario) was a non-partisan officer of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario charged with upholding the province's Environmental Bill of Rights (EBR). The Commissioner did not report to any ministry, but rather to the Legislature itself, and was selected via recommendation by an all-party committee chaired by the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly. The candidate was then appointed by unanimous vote of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario.
The Office of the Environmental Commissioner of Ontario consisted of the Commissioner and 24 staff, who supported the Commissioner in overseeing the administration of the EBR and producing reports to the Legislature.
The office was abolished by the provincial government of Premier Doug Ford in 2019, with responsibilities for the enforcement and administration of the EBR transferred to the Auditor General of Ontario.[1]
