Surely you cannot be proposing to lift protections from our province's most precious eoosystems? These ecosystems represent a healthy environment, not just for wildlife but for all life - that means us humans too!
You are proposing to delegate responsibility to local planning authorities such as municipalities. Yet the municipalities will have no authority to review and approve wetland evaluations.
The changes, as proposed, say explicitly that a wetland evaluation will be considered "complete" when it is "received" by a planning authority.
The wetland evaluator will only be accountable for the objectivity and accuracy of the wetland evaluation to the person paying for it.
This is seriously flawed!
