I am strongly opposed to the consolidation of the conservation authorities. Each watershed is unique and requires local governance over their protection, recreational as well as development within or near them. Read more

This is one of those decisions that will only hurt. There is no way that the proposed expanded conservation areas will be able to service the areas properly. The government will understand them and our natural resources will be the ones to suffer. Read more

Insuffiicient evidence has been presented to the public by the government to justify the consolidation of the conservation authorities. Where is the cost benefit analysis to support such a drastic change? Read more
