This is crazy! Wetlands store more carbon than forests! They must be protected at all costs. And conservation authorities must retain their current powers. They are science based, non political bodies, so decisions are made based on what is best for the environment, rather than political whims. Read more

it is utterly critical that ALL remaining wetlands and the environment be protected for future generations and the environment. Do you want to be a force for ill or good in our world? We do not need more car dependent sprawl, but more high density AFFORDABLE units in walkable towns and cities. Read more

We are speeding toward environmental crises; the last thing the government should be doing is converting crucial wetland regions into housing developments. Furthermore, the housing crisis is primarily a result of lack of affordability and NOT due to a shortage of space. Read more

Please do not change the current evaluation process. This is the time to do things very carefully so that we do not add to our global climate change crisis. It is our responsibility to protect all the land left that protects us and provides life and sustenance to our struggling wildlife. Read more

I do not believe that there should be any changes to the evaluation of wetlands in Ontario. The climate crisis and biodiversity are currently being discussed at COP27. It is time to stop degrading our precious and beautiful natural heritage as it will exacerbate the current climate crisis. Read more

Proposing any development on wetlands is beyond foolish. Wetlands with their abundant plants should be left entirely intact to avoid the likelihood of catastrophic flooding. Have the Ontario officials who suggest developing wetlands never heard of atmospheric rivers. Read more

Wetlands are incredibly fragile ecosystems and are already in short supply. To think that the development of roadways comes before a natural system for cleaning drinking water, fostering already at risk wildlife, and managing rainwater surges that would otherwise cause flooding is heartbreaking.
