This ‘pay to slay’ legislation wrongly incentivizes habitat destruction. Proponents of harmful activities will now have clearance as soon as they pay into the fund. This is absolutely the wrong direction for the province and will create further loss of species at risk. In this age of catastrophic decline in biodiversity, our government needs to prioritize habitat protection, not make it easier for developers to make money.
