I strongly oppose the proposed changes to the Ontario Wetland Evaluation System in Bill 23.

Wetlands and their connected and complex ecosystems are vital to the health of Ontario's natural spaces. As such the oversight of the MNRF along with Conservation Authorities and other bodies like the Wetland Evaluation Technical Team (WETT), the Southern Wetlands Evaluation Review Committee and the Provincial Wetlands Working Group must be maintained.

Housing is obviously important but if we don't carefully manage the natural resources around us the long-term health of our province and its communities will be further at risk as we continue to erode important checks and balances designed to protect the land on which we seek to build.
