This is a horrible idea and an attack on conservation in general.

Such a configuration risks undermining the local accountability that is central to effective watershed management. Conservation authorities were created by municipalities to support local requirements and challenges. Decisions about permitting, floodplain management and watershed planning work best when they reflect local site conditions and municipal growth patterns.

Amalgamation only benefits developers who want to override or ignore permitting processes.
