This is wrong on so many…

This is wrong on so many levels. Wetlands form where they are for a reason. The damage the proposed legislation will enact on our landscape will be felt for generations if these proposed changes are not reversed. To allow the re-evaluation of wetlands that have already been deemed significant, and to attempt to simplify the wetland complexes ignores the complex ecohydrological significance of these wetland complexes. What is the point of protecting them if a developer can just go back and say hey, that wetland isn't significant anymore, despite nothing changing environmentally.

I am for more housing, but many municipalities and conservation authorities (see supporting document) have come out and said we have enough land for housing, without having to gut environmentally protected land. These changes will only continue to enhance sprawl until there is no land, leading to more severe flooding, lower biodiversity, and a lack of opportunity for us to enjoy the natural beauty of our land. Do better Doug Ford. Do better. Actually listen to what the municipalities are calling for, instead of your developer friends who have bought up land in the green belt. If this current government goes through with this, it will be one of the most corrupt decisions they have made. Base your policies on science, not political convenience.
