The KFN is pleased to have the opportunity to comment on the Minister of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) Discussion Paper: “10th Year Review of Ontario’s Endangered Species Act” (the “Discussion Paper”). We are encouraged by the Ontario Government’s indication that it wishes to “consider modern and innovative approaches to achieving positive outcomes for species at risk.” There is compelling evidence of increasing threats to biodiversity in Canada and a clear need for enhanced and more effective protection of species at risk. Improvements to species at risk protection in Ontario are an important step towards addressing these challenges.

The attached letter sets out KFN comments in relation to the Challenges and Discussion Questions set out in the Discussion Paper.
