While it may be convenient to remove wetland complexes from the OWES, it is not aligned with ecosystem function. Wetland complexes should remain and re-evaluation should not occur.
The continued loss of wetlands, while maybe allowing for some new houses, will ultimately lead to significant loss for the province via reduced adaptation capacity, increased flooding and loss of carbon sequestration and storage.
Please reconsider.
