I believe that Bill 23 as proposed will have a highly negative effect on protection of wetland areas that are so critical to the environment. Often wetland areas that have been filled in etc, for development prove in the long run to retain wetland features that are not compatible with development (wet soil etc).
We're just beginning to understand the importance of wetlands as carbon sinks etc, that are critical to climate change.
Housing solutions should focus on permit costs, streamlining bureaucracy, addressing shortage of building department staff and developing affordable housing instead of large estate properties.

Destroying wetlands is a backward step that can not be un-done. Please don't bury an attack on wetlands in this Bill.
