Commentaire
As a young Ontarian, I vehemently oppose the proposed amendments to the OWES for the following reasons:
-failure to consider equity concerns
-deterioration of evaluation quality
-removing approval authority from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry
-failure to consider the destruction of fragile and important ecosystems and subsequently the many endangered and important species for which they are home
-removing important direction regarding "locally important wetlands"
It is extremely concerning to me that our provincial government would disregard such important matters in favour of urban sprawl, continuing to destroy our environment and valuable and fragile ecosystems.
I understand the need for more housing as our population grows, and even as a young person worrying about affording a house one day, this is absolutely not the way to account for the growth in our population. We must find a way to accommodate increased housing demand while protecting our wetlands and our environment as a whole.
