This plan puts Ontario's…

This plan puts Ontario's wetlands, and therefore the environment and many endangered species, at grave risk. Yes Ontario needs to build more housing, but doing so by changing the policies that protect our important wetlands is not the way to do it. Removing environmemtal oversight, stripping Conservation Authorities of their ability to advise, and allowing wetland boundaries to be remapped is foolish and irresponsible.

Furthermore, allowing consultants, hired by developers, to recommend if wetlands should lose protected status is a conflict of interest.

Removing endangered species from the scoring system in determining significant wetlands is extremely irresponsible.

Allowing developers to carve pieces out of protected wetlands and flood other areas to “compensate” the damage is extremely irresponsible.

And removing OMNRF oversight is deplorable.
