I vehemently oppose these proposed changes to the Ontario Wetland Evaluation System. Removing the provincial government (MNR) role in the review and approval of boundary changes, represents a significant risk to sensitive habitats and species. Essentially- you are describing a scenario where developers can pay consultants ("evaluators") to approve requested changes to boundaries, with no oversight. This is appalling and reeks of one-sided development interest. Further- why would you remove any consideration of Ontario's species at risk from this system? ultimately- this literally paves the wave for blatant resource exploitation, lines the pockets of developers by eliminating any kind of objective review for changes to boundaries, and the people will pay the price. When flooding happens, or patterns of landscape drainage change - destroying agricultural systems- - it will be too late to "compensate", and we will be left with the bitter regret of letting money guide short-sighted decision-making. I absolutely oppose this entire proposal - for my own sake, as well as that of my children's children.
