I am writing with my concerns regarding changes to the Ontario Wetland Evaluation System. The system we currently have is working. The proposed changes will cause great deterioration to wetlands, resulting in irreparable harm to many species.

One of the functions of wetlands is flood control. This ability will be be diminished. Let's not forget that conservation authorities were created after the devastation of Hurricane Hazel. The work they do is vital! It makes no sense to remove their expertise in evaluating wetlands.

In my opinion, the proposed legislation changes are greatly flawed. In the strongest terms, I urge the government to abandon this proposal.
