All wetlands in Ontario are important. We have lost so many wetlands since settlement that in some areas wetlands are being restored. This is an expensive process. It is much better to maintain the wetlands that we have than to restore them later.
Wetlands provide important ecosystem services. The regulate water flow in times of flood and drought; they soak up carbon dioxide pollution, they purify water and they provide essential habitat for many wildlife species.
That being said, the current system of classifying wetlands should not be watered down. Provincially significant wetlands must be protected. No development.
