Authorities undermined

Dear Editor:

The Ford government seems to see potential development where others see trees, wetlands, and recreation.

The green space in the GTA was first in his sights. Conservation authorities were told that they basically existed to control water and little else. A recent municipal zoning order permits development in a Don Valley wetland.

The budget contains legislation that removes conservation authorities’ say in development in their jurisdictions.

What’s next?
