I support increasing the transparency of the conservation authorities funding sources. Board members should have a clear role and act with the public interest in mind, not their own interests.

I am strongly concerned about the proposed changes to the core mandate. As per the very first line of this proposal, the Conservation Authorities Act enables programs and services that further conservation, restoration development and management of natural resources. Please clarify how the proposed changes will achieve the intention of the Conservation Authorities Act of conservation, restoration, development and management of natural resources if they will only focus on conservation of only conservation authorities land.

Lastly, introducing and tabling Bill 108 in front of Queen's Park while a public consultation on affected laws and regulations are occurring is premature and undemocratic.
