1. Unleashing The Economy? The term suggests freedom, but in reality, it could mean unchecked development. This shift in approach would lead to unintended consequences for our ecosystems and biodiversity.
2. Special Economic Zones: Imagine areas exempt from existing laws, where development can proceed unchecked. This could mean the end of vital protections for endangered species and indigenous rights.
3. Endangered Species Act at Risk: Ontario was a pioneer in protecting endangered species 1971. Now, there's talk of dismantling these hard-won protections and moving backwards.
4. Indigenous Rights: The proposed act could trample on the rights of indigenous communities, ignoring decades of progress toward reconciliation.
