The proposed amalgamation of…

The proposed amalgamation of the existing conservation authorities has not been well thought out as it applies to the Lakehead Regional Conservation Authority. There is no natural link between the region supported by the LRCA and the nearest proposed body to the east. The LRCA has been in existence for several decades, knows the watershed area it regulates extremely well and has been exemplary in its management and support and conservation of the watershed it has been mandated to care for. To regulate the amalgamation of the LRCA with a body hundreds of kilometres to the east and to which both have little or no knowledge or working plan of each other would be a disaster in the making. Common sense would dictate the regulation of the LRCA to be an authority mandated for the "north" and separate from its eastern counterparts which have little or no knowledge of LRCA's managed watershed.
Who thinks these things up? Was there even any discussion or involvement of the agencies before this "plan" was proposed?
