The proposition should not come to pass. Details are vague and would exempt forest operations from protecting and recovering species at risk. Protecting species must be taken as seriously as providing for Ontario's wood and paper industry.
"The Ministry is proposing a long-term approach that would no longer require duplicative authorizations or a regulatory exemption under the ESA for forest operations conducted in Crown forests in accordance with an approved forest management plan under the CFSA" sounds like a means of cutting away guidelines that slow down operation processes. Though some may be cumbersome, measures are necessary to ensure that species at risk in the forests are being provided for, not just through half-measures.
