I think the proposed changes to the Ontario Wetland Evaluation System will result very few wetlands being designated as provincially significant in the future. As well, the changes may result in wetlands that are currently deemed as Provincially Significant Wetlands (PSW) being stripped of this designation, leaving them unprotected and vulnerable to destruction.
ALL remaining wetland need to be protected. We have already lost a huge percentage of wetlands in Ontario. We can't keep developing wetlands or removing them from protection and expect healthy ecosystem functioning.
I urge you to NOT make the proposed changes to the Ontario Wetland Evaluation System.
