Wetlands are critically important in providing many environmental services and in mitigating climate change by storing carbon and methane. The few remaining significant wetlands MUST be protected. I am against this legislation.

Wetlands are critical to the environment and safety of communities in Ontario. They mitigate the risks of flooding and provide crucial habitats that promote biodiversity, the loss of which is reaching a dangerous tipping point in terms of global ecosystem collapse. Lire davantage

The proposed updates to the Ontario Wetland Evaluation System are detrimental to our Province. These updates not only put many species at greater risk of harm, but they would also result in destroying many wetlands which are vital to our society. Lire davantage

Of all the proposed changes under Bill 23, the undermining of the OWES in Ontario appears to be the least thought out and potentially most destructive. Lire davantage

I am a proud Ontario citizen - I was born here and moved to/visited many places across the province. I am also planning to own a house in the province within the next decade. That being said, I DO NOT support the proposed Bill 23. We do not need to destruct wetlands to construct homes. Lire davantage

Bill 23 will declassify protected — and protective — wetlands for the purported purpose of increasing the supply of housing and improving the affordability of homes in Ontario. Lire davantage

These changes strip away the authority of the MNR to play a significant role in the designation of provincially significant wetlands, pushing most of the decisionmaking into the hands of the same stakeholders who stand to benefit from the development of these areas. Lire davantage

Our remaining wetlands must be protected. Wetlands are under increasing threat of destruction due to pressures of development. This threat is primarily brought to bear by land speculators and developers. Lire davantage

The proposed changes to the Ontario Wetland Evaluation System undermine the purpose of this policy in a number of key ways that must be addressed. MNRF oversight should not be removed from the OWES process so that there is sufficient expertise as part of the evaluation process. Lire davantage

The Ontario Wetland Evaluation System (OWES) should be kept and strengthened as it is science-based and gives a standardized approach to assessing wetlands. Lire davantage

This action will destroy wetlands. I'm a certified OWES evaluator, and it seems criminal to plan for the removal of yet more wetlands - we've already destroyed close to 80% (probably more in the south) . We should be working hard on returning wetlands to southern Ontario, not paving more over. Lire davantage

My thoughts on this proposal that is that it poses too many risks to biodiversity, water quality and increased flooding. It is extremely important to protect Ontario’s wetlands at all costs for the vast variety of ecosystem services in which they provide. Lire davantage

Southern Ontario has lost approximately 70% of its wetlands since 1970 and we can not afford to lose any more. Any attempt to "speed up" assessment and remove protections is folly given the wide variety of ecosystem services that wetlands provide. Lire davantage

The proposed revisions to the Wetland Evaluation System include three major changes, all of which will result in a loss of protections on wetlands. Lire davantage

A few comments on this proposal: Many municipalities do not have staff with the technical capability to speak to wetland evaluations. By excluding the MNRF from this process, how will those municipalities provide informed, stringent review of development applications? Lire davantage

I am concerned about the potential implications for redesignation for smaller existing designated wetlands that may result from the elimination of the wetland complex assessment element . Please review and publish test cases before makingt this change Lire davantage

Say no to this Bill. Leave alone something that belongs to nature not people. We have taken so much from the wildlife already, please leave the Greenbelt alone.

My concerns are: removing the ministry to review and confirm wetland evaluation results -"better recognize professional opinion"0 you are weakening the conservation authorities who are the experts on watershed management- who will be paid to give Ford the results he wants? Lire davantage
