A stable and predictable wetland classification system for the small portion of original Southern Ontario wetlands that remain is very important.

I have seen no credible reports that the few remaining wetlands are a significant impediment to the construction of new housing. To the contrary, they provide important buffers to absorb weather events and sources for drinking water not to mention our dwindling natural heritage resources. This is a (bad) solution that fails to address the real housing problem. The expert panel recently made informed advice on where the real problems and solutions are located.

The government should be supporting the protection of wetlands rather than helping developers destroy them. The focus should be on implementing the system rather than upsetting and changing it.
