I am extremely against this proposal as it puts the health of Ontarians and the environment we live in at higer risk. Wetlands are an extremely important ecosystem in Ontario and destruction of them has many negative effects.
Future generations deserve the protection wetlands offer. Don’t make them pay the price of destroying the environment and the fallout that comes from that.

Protecting wetlands and especially the ones that are still intact is a necessity. Removing requirements for the proposed reason is unethical and goes directly against the state of natural resources report which states that the Ontario ministry is actively working towards stronger protections of our ecosystems and biodiversity.

While housing is another important issue in Ontario- it should not come at the expense of our wetlands. Once the wetlands are damaged and gone, we can’t get them back. We should be striving to protect more ecosystems and the environment.
