I don't want these changes. I don't support any of your changes that will impact species at risk. They were protected well under the ESA but then your government came in and have now threatened their survival. Your description of the proposed changes to the CFSA are extremely vague and I can guarantee that they will not be better for SARs. Leave species at risk alone. They are already in a vulnerable state and with these proposed changes along with Bill 108, they are going to be worse off. I don't trust any of your government's judgements on what's best for species at risk. Seeing how bill 108 is going to affect SARs, I have no choice but to reject these proposed changes.

All you're trying to do with these changes is speed up the process of habitat destruction so that your government can get more money. Additionally, "no longer require duplicative authorizations or a regulatory exemption under the ESA" tells me you want to skip the process of going through the ESA because you don't care about species at risk. All of the bullet points about how this will continue to protect SARs and their habitat as well as doing this for future generations are a bunch of lies. This is not for the better of species at risk or the future generations.

I cannot support any changes to environmental-related legislation from a government that does not give a damn about the environment, the future of Ontario, or the species who depend on their habitat and protection under the ESA for their survival. I am so disappointed that your government does not care about the environment. This is the 21st century. The wildfires in Australia should provide a reality check that we cannot make changes that will impact our environment, species at risk, or the future of our well-being. I do not want these changes to go through.
