Concerns:
The changes on Pg 5 indicate that the wetland evaluation is only provided to the municipality, and the conservation authorities or other government agencies will no longer have the ability to examine them. This is like setting into law that police departments cannot share information about similar crimes across districts. The purpose of this seems to be to divide and hide.
The changes on Pg 6. Rather than have a robust system wherein Wetland Evaluators can consult with experts, this change now causes the Wetland Evaluator to be the only step in the evaluation process, and they are now the only experts. Even if they are unsure or have additional questions.
On Pg 9 the removal of the wetland complexes section will mean that wetlands that are important as a larger complex will now be able to be divided and assessed as smaller parts - providing for the potential to destroy the ecological functioning of the whole system.
