According to what I've read, bill 23 appears to be primarily focused on economic gain while mostly ignoring the community and environmental effects. In terms of reducing climate change, these new regulations would be a huge step backward because they permit far more environmentally harmful development in the province. The government asserts that by offsetting, it will compensate for the loss of wetlands, woods, and other natural areas brought about by new construction. This would guarantee the loss of these significant natural lands, which would then be repaired or restored elsewhere. This legislation poses significant and possibly permanent environmental hazards. Building over wetlands represents a significant reduction in the ecosystem services that wetlands offer. Wetlands must be safeguarded through economic expansion and development. The implementation of housing and climate change policies will be unjust. Heritage land won't be protected, which will have a severe impact on homeowners' lives.
