Ontario Greens leader Mike Schreiner has voiced strong opposition to recent provincial changes to wetland evaluation, following Hamilton city council’s support for an auditor general investigation. He argues that under Premier Doug Ford, wetlands are facing increased threats, jeopardizing crucial environmental functions like water purification and carbon sequestration. Schreiner emphasizes the need for enhanced protections rather than rollbacks, criticizing the government’s actions as favoring wealthy donors at the expense of local municipalities and residents.
