If Bill 23 gets passed then…

If Bill 23 gets passed then not only will the safety of wetlands in the Greenbelt be threatened yet wetlands throughout all of Ontario could be placed in jeopardy. The same logic of considering wetlands as not significant in terms of protecting threatened species or being part of larger complex wetlands may be applied to wetlands throughout all of Ontario, not just the Greenbelt.

Many endangered species like the Blanding Turtle could be on the brink of extermination within Ontario all for a plan which people are criticize may not even work to solve the housing crisis plan. All Bill 23 will accomplish is give developers the green light to develop on ecologically sensitive lands and it will not stop there. Passing Bill 23 will no doubt lead to more new legislation that would strip away environmental protection policy leading to further environmental degradation without any significant long term economic benefit.
