The two defining issues of our time are climate change and the loss of biodiversity. Wetlands are a key component for dealing with these challenges.

We need to better protect our wetlands to have a sustainable future for Ontario.

The currently established rules (Wetland Evaluation System) and conditions used to identify wetlands, their boundaries, and their significance and function must remain in force and even need to be strengthened to effectively position Ontario's future.

Wetland complexing must remain a central tenant of the evaluation system.

There is no need to develop housing on our critical wetland habitats.
