According to the ERO posting, the purpose of the proposed OWES overhaul is to support the construction of 1.5 million new housing units over the next ten years by streamlining the wetland evaluation process. This purpose is misguided, given that a shortage of land isn’t the Lire davantage

I'm strongly opposed to the proposed changes to OWES. These changes are clearly intended to facilitate development at the cost of natural heritage protection. Lire davantage

Changes to OWES will leave many wetlands vulnerable to enviromentally destructive practices.

It makes no real sense to updates the Ontario Wetland Evaluation System. Making room for homes that Ontarian's will barely be able to afford is not the way to solve this. Lire davantage

I am very familiar with the OWES Manual that is used to evaluate the wetlands of Ontario. In short, I think that the proposed changes will undo the last 40 years for wetland conservation in Ontario and make it very difficult to protect wetlands in the future. Lire davantage

The “Regulatory Impact Analysis” section states that the impacts of this proposal will be neutral/positive to businesses, but what about wetlands? What about Ontario’s natural flood mitigation and carbon sequestration system? There is so much more at stake here than business interests. Lire davantage

The proposed changes to the Provincial Wetland Evaluation system are a big mistake and will cause a loss of ecosystem goods and services to the taxpayers of Ontario. How can we protect biodiversity without wetland habitat ? Lire davantage

Removing wetlands will be detrimental to wildlife, and climate change mitigation as it will increase the risk of flooding, without considering the increase in carbon emissions of those commuting as the urban area expands into the greenbelt. Lire davantage

After reviewing the proposed changes, please note that I vehemently oppose all proposed deletions, additions and changes. It is clear that the proposed changes will only benefit private corporations in the short term seeking to invest and develop our provincial watershed and wetland systems. Lire davantage

Completely disagree with making changes to make development of wetlands and greenbelt lands easier, more accessible and with less oversight and protections (study). It is critical for our environment and future generations to protect these valuable resources. Lire davantage
