1.) There is no need to degrade wetland protection in the name of providing housing. New housing should not be built on wetlands. It should be built in areas that already have infrastructure and are not prone to flooding.

Comments on ERO 019-6160, Proposed Updates to the Ontario Wetland Evaluation System
The proposed updates are entirely inadequate to meet the stated objectives of streamlining the building of more homes.
