I am a proud Ontario citizen - I was born here and moved to/visited many places across the province. I am also planning to own a house in the province within the next decade. That being said, I DO NOT support the proposed Bill 23. We do not need to destruct wetlands to construct homes. We live in a time where we have plenty of research and real-life examples of solutions to provide housing to our growing population (e.g., solutions for combating urbanization, etc). We know how to provide homes without increasing sprawl. We also know that 1 in 10 species live in wetlands, and wetland species are THE MOST threatened species as seen with countless consequences of mismanagement and poor infrastructure planning. We do not need more Acts to continue building houses, we need more Acts to continue protecting wetland habitats.
