I am against this proposed regulation. Under the proposal, permitting decisions would no longer be informed by the deep local knowledge, technical expertise and watershed-health mandate of CAs. Read more

These amendments are being proposed to facilitate the agenda of the current governing party and give little consideration to the long-term consequences on the sustainability of all life. In Ontario today, the governing party is NOT supported by the majority of the electorate. Read more

We are facing multiple crises environmentally and to reduce the decision-making authority of CAs makes no sense at all. They know more about our watersheds, wetlands and rivers than anyone in the province. Certainly more than a single Minister would. Read more

Leave the conservation authorities alone so that they can get on with their job of protecting the people of Ontario against natural hazards and flooding. They are the trained professionals in this area - sorry - but the minister is not. Read more
