Ontario is proposing to consolidate its 36 conservation authorities into seven, a move the environment minister insists will improve services and result in no job losses.

Environment Minister Todd McCarthy announced Friday that the government will soon introduce legislation to establish a new provincial agency to oversee the amalgamated conservation authorities and consult on the proposed boundaries of the new regional authorities.

NDP environment critic Peter Tabuns said centralizing environmental decision-making is the wrong move.

"(The premier) is hollowing out the very agencies that defend our land, water and wildlife, all so his developer friends can build wherever they please," he wrote in a statement.

"improve services and result in no job losses."

Its been a nightmare working with CAs recently (last 3yrs), but that's largely due to budget cuts and staffing losses.

Fund them properly and set strict guidelines for plan review turnarounds, and you'll see improvements.

But alas its the classic "defund then claim its not working" be that he pulls everywhere.

Doug Ford has shown time and again that he will continue to escalate until he is forced to stop. This admin is talking about ending tenant rights and fair elections y'all, they're not going to give up and they will attack democratic vectors of challenge to them.
