I think the Ford government needs a reminder of why the conservation authorities were formed in the first place, and why their authority over these critical and sensitive areas was expanded since their inception. We do not need another hurricane Hazel incident, or a walkerton ecoli outbreak. Lire davantage

I agree with HCA's submission to the ERO. Losing local decision making authority is unconscionable and will lead to irresponsible and harmful results in regards to land conservation, and the well-being of all those who live within these areas. Lire davantage

Why change the conservation authorities when they are financed by themselves? If it is for cost savings I don't buy it. If it is for efficiency I don,t buy it!!!

The proposed creation of the Ontario Provincial Conservation Agency is illegal. It completely overlooks prior agreements made between municipalities in any given conservation authority jurisdiction to form a conservation authority. Lire davantage

OSPE supports the government’s goal of improving efficiency and consistency within Ontario’s conservation authority system. However, the role and power of conservation authorities in protecting the environment and promoting sustainable development must not be diminished. Lire davantage

I am against this proposal. This conservative government has proven time and time again that it does not care about the environment and will surely use these changes to more easily manipulate protected areas for their benefit. Lire davantage

If the province’s concern is that each of the 36 Conservation Authorities (CAs) follow different policies, standards, and fees and have different staffing and technology capabilities that may result in unpredictable and inconsistent turnaround times for reviews and approvals, then collapsing from 36 Lire davantage

We are a massive geographic area, this is insanely lazy and cheap. At best this is a misguided attempt to save money, and at worst it's a shallow vicious attempt to add static and confusion to environmental protection in the face of potentially damaging developments. Lire davantage

SDG has significant concerns that these regional conservation authorities will be too large and the partnerships that conservation authorities have with local municipalities to enhance local service delivery in SDG will be lost with a larger organization. Lire davantage

A single 'conservation' authority stretching from Guelph/K/W to Sarnia to Windsor to Six Nations? An absolutely ludicrous idea that waters down the important work that the individual conservation authorities around the province currently do. Lire davantage

The conservation authorities are an important municipal level institution, with unique character and local knowledge. This amalgamation would strip away much of that uniqueness and power in the name of making them more efficient, even though their response rate is already fairly fast. Lire davantage

As an Ontario resident and taxpayer I am vehemently opposed to this proposal. Conservation Authorities must remain well funded and local-focused. Their current catchment areas are already massive. Lire davantage

I would like to see regional oversight continue rather than it all become provincial. The people living in the watersheds should determine what happens in them not somebody remote including continued development of meaningful relationships with indigenous people still living in the area.
