Comment
I object to this proposal to change the OWES. Natural wetlands should be completely protected as they are so valuable to the health of our ecosystems and especially our water, and too many of them have already been destroyed and / or "replaced" by fake wetlands. Wetlands are necessary for flood control and as habitat for species at risk. We should not be putting wetlands under threat in order to 'streamline' development such as suburban housing sprawl or commercial / industrial buildings and 400 series highway infrastructure. Do not weaken OWES or the Conservation Authorities by implementing this proposal. Save all our wetlands!
