If the issue is related to these matters in the notice (below), the province could resolve it thru standardizing processing without the disruption that reorganization causes and without creating a new bureaucracy. It is unclear how the reorganization and the new bureaucracy will improve processing times. Nor is it clear how the new bodies will be funded, whether fees will cover the costs of processing, etc. Try to keep it simple
"The current system of 36 separate conservation authorities is fragmented, with each conservation authority following different policies, standards, fees and levels of staffing and technical capabilities. This has led to unpredictable and inconsistent turnaround times for approvals across all conservation authorities, creating uncertainty and delays for builders, landowners and farmers seeking permits, and undermining conservation authorities’ ability to protect communities from floods and natural hazards."
