I am not in favor of these changes.

It is unclear to me why there needs to be changes to the "Wetland Evaluation System", other than to increase the likelihood of building where one was previously designated (I am reading between the lines of course). How does changes to this wetland designation system relate to building affordable housing? While I recognize the need for more affordable housing (this has been needed for a long time), this should be accomplished via other approaches. Is it not possible to build at less ecologically relevant areas that are not designated as wetlands (or some form thereof)? A clear explanation why these changes are required is needed, otherwise, it seems more prosperous for Ontario (at least in terms of how we treat our ecologically important areas) to choose different options.
