So the goverment can't commit to investments (uses vague promises) but can commit to having non-democratic discretion on issues they are not experts on?
- the government INTENDS to increase investment in supporting voluntary activities that will assist in the protection and conservation of species by more than four times, up to $20 million per year.
- The program would also CONSIDER a wider breadth of supportable conservation activities.
- the government WILL HAVE discretion to add species to or remove from the Species at Risk in Ontario (SARO) List
what about cultural based assessments? science cannot always be the decider, our environments are more complex than that - but I wouldn't expect this government to care about that since it's all about dollars in their own pockets at the expense of everyone else
-science-based assessments by COSSARO will continue
