Wetlands are important to public health, water quality, and species-at-risk. These changes will make it harder for a wetland to be classified as Provincially Significant and removes important protections to our clean water supplies and habitat protections. They will (1) no longer count the value of a wetland as habitat for species at risk and (2) will remove complexing which ensures smaller wetland are protected as part of a larger wetland complex. Wetlands and public health should not be scarified for the monetary gain of a few developers.
