Do not support Bill 23, wetlands are very important to the ecosystem. Doug Ford is a bully and is only filling the pockets of developers. Ford has gone back on his word to the people of Ontario . To get elected he told us all he would not touch the wetlands and now he has gone back on his word.

Proposed building on wetlands is preposterous. In addition. The sensitive land being used to build Hwy 413 is absurd. The supposed time savings in no way supports the costs to build.
Given the current demographic changes, and the decline in birth rates worldwide, it seems likely that after baby boomers age out of their jobs, they will also age out of their homes, creating more availability of single family housing.

I am very concerned about the destruction of wetlands in Ontario and do not support changes that will put them in jeopardy. I very much enjoy hiking through areas with beautiful wetlands and enjoy the bio diversity and the many wildlife species. It would be very sad to see them disappear.
I am a field botanist who specializes in plant identification, Ecological Land Classification (ELC), and wetland delineations/evaluations. I have been employed in this profession for the past 16 years, all of which has been with two consulting companies.

I am appalled by this proposal. It is hard to credit how shortsighted it is in terms of its impact, bringing irreparable harm to wetlands, habitat, green space, and conservation imperatives, while purporting to be in response to a “need” for the kind of housing it is to supposedly supporting.

As a resident of Guelph, the province of Ontario, the country of Canada and a human on this planet, I strongly oppose Bill 23. Our earth and our care for it is the primary concern. There are too many people on this earth now - unsustainable.

Stop bill 23, we are doing irreversible harm to our natural settings. Who wants to live in a concrete jungle, we need nature to enjoy. Not to mention wild life and clean water filtration require a natural environment to flourish. Keep the greenbelt!!! It was originally protected for a reason!!!!!

I very much disagree with any encroachments on our greenspaces or wetlands. We have seen what happens to other communities that did not respect their environments during severe climate change events (e.g., floods).

While finding a way to create affordable housing is very important, we need to find a way to do it without destroying more and more critical habitat.
Paving/building over what is critical to endangered species makes no sense.

As this Ford government has done with so many other environmental protections, this attempt to “update” the wetlands designation standards is merely a ruse.

We do not need to further damage our environment, and put our agricultural industry in jeopardy for the sake of building more subdivisions. The Greenbelt was promised to be protected, not slowly eaten away causing irrepairable damage.

What is going on is wrong. People need to wake up and realize climate change isn’t just a myth but it’s indeed real as of right now! If buildings go up then majority of wildlife is going to be destroyed.

Our precious wetlands need our protection. I'm am all for building affordable housing, but not at the cost of doing irreparable damage to our ecosystem. Wetlands are important for all of Ontarios inhabitants, birds, mammals, amphibians, insects and humans.

Destroying our wetlands is not a solution!! It's just going to be a different problem down the road!!
Our wetlands are vital for flood prevention and carbon capture! It is also the primary habitat of Ontarios endangered turtles!

Our wetlands are home to endangered species. It is also home to flora and fauna that only can live in a wetland environment. Thete sre other places to build affordable housing.
Changing rules for protecting our environment is wrong. Leave our green belt and other protected lands alone.
Once developed, there is no going back.
You are destroying our environment,
