These changes mean that few wetlands would be deemed provincially significant in the future. These changes would mean that most existing Provincially Significant Wetlands could lose that designation.
Given that, this proposal is likely to reduce the number of hectares of protected wetlands in Ontario. I find this unacceptable, because wetlands prevent flood damage, and flooding is projected to become more common and to intensify in the future with climate change.
How can the government make a decision that will leave homes in Ontario more vulnerable to the affects of climate change?
