In an email, ministry spokesman Lindsay Davidson said The Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks of Ontario is “moving forward” with changes to “improve the governance, oversight and accountability of conservation authorities, while respecting taxpayer dollars by giving municipalities more say over the conservation authority services they pay for.”
“We are also proposing that all municipally-appointed members of conservation authorities be elected officials to ensure they better represent the interests of their municipalities,” he said.
“We are also proposing to enable the minister of the environment, conservation and parks to appoint a member from the agricultural sector to each conservation authority to increase agricultural sector perspectives in conservation authority operations. These proposed changes would ensure fuller representation of municipalities and enable the perspectives on the agricultural sectors into conservation authority governance and decision making.”
