Removing OWES significant wetlands habitat numeric protection point system is not considered a positive change in the face of the current climate crisis. Wetlands are not only one of primary habitats prevalent in this country and as such have become breeding grounds for the very biodiversity that makes our country thrive. These wetlands are also a major source of carbon sequestration. Diminishing the ability to protect our Provincially Significant Wetlands will add to the amount of carbon prevalent in the atmosphere as a harmful greenhouse gas, thus contributing to the rising temperature, we can see in the climate of not just this nation, but the world as a whole. We as a nation are currently fighting against with our commitment to the Canadian Net Zero Emissions Accountability Act to reduce our national carbon emissions to zero by the deadline of 2050. It is not recommended among the environmental community to diminish the importance of such national treasures as our wetlands to promote the growth of our population as it stands.
