Section 10 of the Endangered…

Section 10 of the Endangered Species Act,2007, S.O. 2007, c.6

Section 10 (1) states that: "No person shall damage or destroy habitat of, (a) a species that is listed on the Species at Risk in Ontario List as an endangered or threatened species; or (b) a species that is listed on the Species at Risk in Ontario List as an extirpated species, if the the species is prescribed by the regulation for the purpose of this clause. 2007, c.6, s. 10 (1)."

There is enough habitat loss in the name of development. Protected areas must remain as such to prevent at risk species from being declared extinct. The Premier of Ontario needs to adhere to this act instead of catering to developers. Areas deemed to be protected must remain so...these areas aren't to be released to developers at the whim of the Premier...it's not his private property to release!
