We strongly disagree with the proposed updates to the Ontario Wetland Evaluation System without further consultation with Conservation Authorities’ experts and full transparency with the citizens of Ontario as to the veracity of the proposed changes.
The majority of projects that I heard of which were built over wetlands, had structural issues come up a few years later. I don't think the risk is worth it. In the long run, it can turn out to be more expensive than the alternative options.

I am deeply concerned about the proposed changes to the Ontario Wetland Evaluation System and its implications on wetland conservation in Ontario.

It is extremely shortsighted and foolish to change the evaluation system without further consultation with the environmental community and Conservation Authorities. Wetlands are so important for flood control, pollution mitigation, biodiversity -- Ontario needs all our wetlands intact!
I strongly oppose to the changes to the Ontario Wetland Evaluation System. Conservation Authorities’ experts should be consulted before making a decision, and I also demand full transparency with the citizens of Ontario as to the veracity of the proposed changes.
I wholeheartedly disagree with the proposed updates to the Ontario Wetland Evaluation System without further consultation with Conservation Authorities’ experts and full transparency with the citizens of Ontario as to the veracity of the proposed changes.

The daily protests have shown this province and anyone paying attention that paving over wetlands will not be tolerated. Ford cannot do as he pleases while acting as premier (and I emphasize the word acting).

The proposed changes to the OWES are going to be incredibly damaging to Ontario's natural heritage systems and to built infrastructure into the future.

I am a millennial who is working full time and an above average household income for Ontario. I cannot afford to buy a house in Toronto, where I live.

I support NOT changing the Ontario Wetland Evaluation System unless further consultation takes place with the environmental community and the Conservation Authorities.

CONSERVATION AUTHORITIES:
you brought this on.
pathetic beaurcratic red tape.
eg.
my fathers 30 acres, midurst.
high and dry.
100 000 had to be spent to prove there were
no bird eggs on thr lands.
pathetic.
you people dont have a clue
what u are doing.
fill in the swamps NOW.
At the rate we are going, there will be no wetlands, forests, animals, marine life and wilds left in the world. We need to get the word out that we are destroying our world. More houses = less of a world for protected species. Awful really.
We have to protect our wetlands. When there gone whats next. There has to be a better way..maybe stop or slow immigration. We are destroying this planet. It has to stop. These animals that will be hurt have a purpose. STOP STOP
I cannot believe that these changes are happening. In years to come, there will be very few wetlands and many of the birds and animals like turtles will become extinct.. Please don't let this happen. Surely in Canada we have enough land to build housing without destroying the wetlands.
I object to Ontario’s Housing Supply Action Plan 3.0 and the government’s commitment to support the construction of 1.5 million new housing units over the next ten years, because of the devastation it will cause to Ontario wetlands.

The proposed changes in the OWES system are horrendous. You cannot take away wetland complexes and assume that everything will still be in balance. These complexes are important for keeping ecosystems and habitat healthy for both wildlife and humans.
