As a concerned Ontarian, I am absolutely against these proposed changes to the 2007 Endangered Species Act.

There is a reason environmental assessments take time. These measures are in place to protect us from rushed short-term decisions that could have disastrous long-term consequences. A strong economy is contingent upon strong environmental protections, including protecting Ontario's biodiversity.

In the World Economic Forum's Global Risks Report 2022, biodiversity loss was ranked as the third most severe threat humanity will face in the next 10 years.

The global risks we create by destroying nature are far-ranging and impact future generations. Please keep the existing policies intact and safeguard our province.
