I dont support this development. Please don't do this. The water, the animals, the fauna all need this space, and we need it to be there too, for future generations to enjoy, and to help keep our water clean. The wetlands are important!
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this proposal. I have serious concerns about the proposed changes to the Ontario Wetland Evaluation System and the impact these changes will have on the wetlands Ontarians depend on.

The proposed changes to the Ontario Wetland Evaluation System (OWES) indicates that a Provincially Significant Wetland (PSW) under these amendments must achieve the same score.

I am strongly opposed to the proposed changes to the Ontario Wetland Evaluation System. I view them as reckless with regard to human life and property, and showing wilful disregard for the needs of other life forms, particularly those already identified as species at risk.

Thanks for the opportunity to register my opposition to the the changes proposed in Bill 23 - the fragmentation of our valuable wetlands. Once destroyed they cannot be reclaimed.

Any weakening of protections for wetlands will have significant implications for countless species-at-risk and Ontario's flood resilience. I fear for the impacts these changes may have on the safety of Ontarians as storm events and flooding become increasingly difficult to address.
As a young Ontarian, I vehemently oppose the proposed amendments to the OWES for the following reasons:
-failure to consider equity concerns
-deterioration of evaluation quality
-removing approval authority from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry

These amendments are nothing more than an excuse to ensure that fewer wetlands in Ontario will be deemed provincially significant and protected from development.
I am writing to express my unqualified opposition to the proposed changes to the Ontario Wetland Evaluation System (OWES). One would think that, with both a biodiversity crisis and a climate crisis at hand, the province would be moving to enhance wetland protection, not decimate it.

I am a grade nine student. My mom co-founded Turtle Protectors, an Indigenous led group that advocates and protects turtles in High Park. She helped start the group because all species of turtles are at risk.

While I generally support the More Homes Built Faster Act, I have some concerns around a few things that I think should be revised or removed from the bill. The changes to the OWES and removing power from conservation authorities are chief among these.

Wetlands are extremely important for conservation efforts. Wetlands are declining rapidly in Ontario as it is and it is crucial they are federally protected for conservation efforts.
