With all CA's having different staffing needs and resources, how will the province find pay standards and benefit packages?
How does the province plan to fund all the rebranding of established CA's from signage, fleet, staff uniforms?

I think it is a terrible idea to consolidate the Conservation Authorities into 7 large entities. Bigger does not always mean better.
Quick action in any situation would not happen because of the hierarchy that would have to be followed to get results.

I do not support the proposed “Lake Erie Regional Conservation Authority” boundary configuration outlined in Environmental Registry Notice 025-1257.

It is deplorable to amalgamate the conservation authorities in this way. The reduced staff would lead to cuts in work being completed, more time spent travelling than doing work and would be the opposite of productive.

I live within the Raisin River Conservation Authority boundaries and I have to voice my strong opposition to the Government of Ontario’s proposal to amalgamate all of Ontario’s Conservation Authorities.

The proposed consolidation of Ontario’s conservation authority boundaries will cause irrevocable harm to the province’s flood-management programs—programs created in the aftermath of Hurricane Hazel to prevent the loss of life and property.

"...to better align with provincial priorities", aka, do the Corrupt Ones' bidding when their rich friends want to develop on green spaces and protected wetlands.
Hard pass. MORE power and resources to comservation authorities. Not less.

I think the regional consolidation of conservation authorities will bring more consistency and faster service but it is important to protect local knowledge and involve locals in decision making process.
Merging the CA's is a terrible idea for many reasons. Do not do this. we need more environmental monitoring, ecological data collection, and ecological rehabilitation work - not less!!!! We need experts that understand the local watersheds.

I do NOT support the regional consolidation of Ontario’s Conservation Authorities. The current system is working very well for both urban areas and natural environments.
This is a terrible plan that serves no purpose but to disable the conservation authorities as protectors and overseers of our natural environment. Do not go through with this!
The consolidation of the conservation authorities will eliminate the reason they were made in the first place. We need these organizations to be fine so they are able to attentively preform their jobs.

I have worked in the engineering field for over 10 years, in both the private and public sectors. I have been exposed to various regulatory agencies for approvals throughout my career, seeking permits for various residential, commercial, industrial and institutional developments.

I would embrace the changes of the conservation authorities if it will help make things easier to get a permit. Quinte Conservation was a nightmare when we were trying to build our house. They create erosion control zone which you need to build behind but can't tell you where it is. Such a joke.
