I am quite concerned about these proposed changes. Wetlands are tremendously important environmental features, and tremendously vulnerable ones to boot. They provide flood mitigation, carbon storage, water filtration and are home to large amounts of unique species. They're also one of the most quickly disappearing environments in Canada. The evaluation system should be made more restrictive in the context of wetlands and existing greenspace, not less. Sprawl is not the answer to the housing crisis; densifying existing areas is.

Leave wetlands alone. That's the whole point of protecting them.
