On what grounds is the provincial government making the decision that this amalgamation is in the best interest of the conservation lands of Ontario?

I do not support the amalgamation of conservation authorities. The province must consult those most affected, First Nations, existing conservation authorities and local leaders to safeguard these valuable lands. Keep the power away from provincial hands
