This proposal has potentially devastating impacts for the environment of ontario and the taxes it recieves from the ecotourism industry.

The issue with housing has nothing to do with availability and it has everything to do with cost. By removing protections from many wetlands with your re-evaluation to create new homes, you will not only be destroying the homes of wildlife but adding extra insult to injury by constructing homes that only the wealthy can afford. I say this as a dual-citizen who has been wishing to move into Ontario from the United States for several years. Even the low quality housing is unaffordable in Ontario, and destroying the environment will not change that.

Addressing the solution to the problem you are trying to solve can easily be done without destroying the country's most valuable ecosystems, especially when so many of them are already at risk. The issue is cost, not availability.
