I vigorously oppose the proposed changes to the Wetland Evaluation System for several reasons, all bearing on the damage to wetlands that will not be easily reversible. First, I am aware of the essential role of wetlands in providing protection against flooding, amongst other vital services. Lire davantage

I am quite concerned about the proposed changes to the Ontario Wetland Evaluation System (OWES) and what those changes will mean for Ontarians and for Species at Risk. Lire davantage

Dear Ministers, I am writing to express my opposition to Bill 23 and associated policy proposals that would weaken environmental protections and undermine public involvement in land use planning and decision-making. I am particularly concerned about the: Lire davantage

Wetlands and wetland protections in Southwestern Ontario provide important services both to our environment, in protecting biodiversity, and to our human health. Southern Ontario has lost 75% of its original wetlands, and in the GTHA fewer than 10% of the original wetlands remain! The cause? Lire davantage

All wetlands in Ontario are important. We have lost so many wetlands since settlement that in some areas wetlands are being restored. This is an expensive process. It is much better to maintain the wetlands that we have than to restore them later. Lire davantage

Wetlands are critical to flood prevention in a time of increasing extreme weather events. I have no faith in developers to "construct" wetlands in a way that retains the function and biodiversity of the original. There is plenty of land to develop without building on and around wetlands.

It is unconscionable to think that the wetland evaluation system which is based on science and facts and has been in place for many years created by the government specifically the MNR is about to be dismantled. That would be going backwards in evolution and science not forwards. Lire davantage

The proposed updates to the Ontario Wetland Evaluation System are absolutely horrifying. With climate change causing numerous floods around the world, the last thing we need is to have more of our wetlands removed. Wetlands are vital for flood control and prevention. Lire davantage

I am very concerned about this proposal. I think it will destroy a lot of the remaining wetlands at a time of environmental crisis regarding climate change and mass extinction. I read that Ontario has lost 72% of its wetlands. I live in Essex county, and the loss is above 90% here. Lire davantage

We need to continue protecting wetlands for future generations and environmental sustainability! We cannot destroy wetlands for the immediate gain of quickly building new housing. Wetlands are an important asset in controlling flioding, which may become more frequent with climate change. Lire davantage

I object to this proposal to change the OWES. Natural wetlands should be completely protected as they are so valuable to the health of our ecosystems and especially our water, and too many of them have already been destroyed and / or "replaced" by fake wetlands. Lire davantage

I would like to point out the lack of transparency in this ERO posting, starting with the title. It seems dishonest to characterize the changes being proposed as “updates” when, in fact, sweeping changes are being made to the OWES including taking the whole OWES program out of the MNRF.

We are a couple in Thunder Bay. We strongly object to building houses on the Greenbelt, as proposed by Bill 23. Do not build on flood plains or agricultural land. Keep the Conservation Authorities strong. Lire davantage

I’m writing to express my opposition to the removal of several key components of our Ontario Wetland Evaluation System (OWES). One of the most concerning segments involves the removal of any discussion of, or evaluation of, wetland complexes. Lire davantage
