You should correct a false statement contained in the project proposal, that the conservation authorities are the second largest land holders in Ontario.

I am glad you are looking at the mandate iat this time.
Science is clear that climate change will impact weather in Ontario (particularly southern Ontario) dramatically.

Great, having worked in the natural resources field with the OPG, I have always believed CAs had long ago gone way beyond their originally intended purposes in terms of program delivery and that there was duplication and overlap which was inefficient. Good luck.
This is clearly the last nail in the coffin of private property ownership and control. The first nail went in when Teranet was set up and took 100% control of all titles (see below).

If environmental outreach and education is not a part of the core responsibilities of conservation authorities, then it should be. Who will deliver the programs that have been successfully running for decades?

I'm very concerned this is the Ford governments way of making it easier to build things in wetlands, watercourses, protected areas where things shouldn't be built.

I do not agree with the direction the SVCA is going. I feel they are drifting from their original mandate. We farm in Minto and South Bruce and I will outline an example of what we have experienced.

Expropriation with out compensation. Not just a tax break. Too much of private land is being designated with no compensation to the land owner. Push back to the big developers and protect the 330000 square kilometers that we already have.
Conservation authority's play a essential role in the preservation and conservation of our planet, ecosystems, and province. This proposal is a huge step in the wrong direction.

Move the regulatory role of Conservation Authorities over to the municipalities/Counties. They already have a full department of trained planners. i work at a rural CA and there is so much inefficiency because we need a full department for the small amount of regulations we enforce.

I do believe that some of the CAs have ventured beyond their mandate and those should be addressed (ie. waste diversion programs, urban ag (that's NOT on CA land), other sustainability programs that aren't really natural environment-related).

One of the first thing Ontario Government needs to make changes to Boards Composition. They need to outline word for word, number for number how a Conservation Authority Board is comprised of.

Conservation Authorities (CAs) are run by boards which are not always made up of elected officials who are not accountable to tax payers. There is no transparency. CAs are funded by municipal levies, minimal provincial funding, and donations (private and corporate).

The CA's generally have greatly expanded upon their original mandates - which were basically to secure person and property from hazardous lands prone to flooding and erosion. Today, they are deeply involved in matters that overlap jurisdictional mandates of DFO, MNR and MOE to name a few agencies.
