My concerns are:
removing the ministry to review and confirm wetland evaluation results
-"better recognize professional opinion"0 you are weakening the conservation authorities who are the experts on watershed management- who will be paid to give Ford the results he wants?
-removing the consideration of wetland complexes
-removing acknowledging the upper habitat and how that contributes to a wetland. Just crossing it out obliterate it. Gone!
-ignoring wetlands smaller than 5 acres. All these 5 acres of Greenbelt and wetland for the 413 all add up!!
-removing consideration of species at risk, endangered species, winter cover and breeding ground. This will be Ford government's legacy. Disgustingly shameful! This government ignores science. They are out of touch with nature and HEALTH. They will not make homes more affordable by destroying the environment.
-Halton region created ROPA 49, a good plan to accommodate population growth within the urban boundary. Build in mid and high density. Don't build on wetlands,Greenbelt or farmlands which are needed for food security. Grow organic food. We don't need more food from the USA. They are the highest users of glyphocates (round up) in the world.
