The species protection…

The species protection provisions within this legislation need to be strengthened - many species are under greater threat than ever and this needs to be taken seriously. Rather than focusing on treating these regulations as being too onerous on business and implying that they have little to no impact, we are treating the natural treasures of this provincial as valueless. The value that they contribute through their own worth as well as recreational and tourist opportunities mean that they have value. These species and places must be protected and it is imperative that any changes to the legislation reflect that reality.
