Comment
The Province has not provided evidence showing why the merger is needed.
The plan notes that a regional approach is required to address inefficiency and streamline permit approvals, but doesn’t provide details on where existing CAs are falling short. Issues like inconsistent service or outdated systems can be addressed without restructuring the entire conservation system.
Key details remain unknown.
Governance, costs, timing, staffing, land management, branding, and community impact have not been explained, which leaves the potential effects of the merger uncertain.
