I don't believe that the power of conservation authorities should be reduced. They serve an important role, and with the changes to our planet caused by climate changing we should be looking to knowledgeable organizations to help protect our environment not further hamstring their abilities.

The GRCA was created by the province PRECISELY to control flooding as well as to preserve natural resources. To slash it this way is short-term thinking and citizens will rue to day.
Conservation Authorities (ca) are in my view the specialist organizations that are best equipped to protect the public and private property as well as the vast areas of common space (conservation lands, public lands, lakes, rivers etc).
