A few comments on this proposal:
Many municipalities do not have staff with the technical capability to speak to wetland evaluations. By excluding the MNRF from this process, how will those municipalities provide informed, stringent review of development applications?
Is the thinking behind removal of Species at Risk scoring considerations that they are afforded their own protections under the ESA? As I am sure you are aware, SAR pay a central role in OWES evaluations.
I support notification to landowners that wetland on their property is being evaluated. That is all that I agree with in this proposal.
It is realized that the province would be left with maybe 5 provincially significant wetlands under these proposed changes, right?
