Hello, Especially in…

Hello,

Especially in southern Ontario, I think it should be made clear that all wetlands within municipalities need to be evaluated over time. Right now, the wording on page 4 is "can be applied", when it should say "will be applied". Otherwise, it may not be 100% clear that a potentially impacted wetland (e.g., from physical development, runoff, etc.) must be evaluated.

Perhaps more importantly, I think removal of MNRF from the process is removing vital objective review. This leaves the evaluation process open to corruption and removes important oversight that is actually one of the main roles and responsibilities of the public servants in the provincial government. I get trying to reduce demands on already overworked staff, but this aspect of working for the public good should be non-negotiable. As such, I suggest that the first paragraph marked as deleted on page 7 be re-instated.
