I've already noted the principle of ecological integrity is critical. It seems to have been rejected out of hand, but nonetheless, this amendment mirrors the language found in subsection 8(2) of the Canada National Parks Act, and that is:
Maintenance or restoration of ecological integrity, through the protection of natural resources and natural processes, shall be the first priority of the Minister when considering all aspects of the management of parks.
Also, to be consistent with the existing Rouge Park, greenbelt, and Oak Ridges Moraine policies and existing national parks and protected areas legislation and standards, ecological integrity of watershed health and cultural heritage should be a priority. It should be the primary goal for this system.
