Reckless and disingenuous.

“The role of the Committee on the Status of Species at Risk in Ontario (COSSARO), as an independent science-based committee responsible for assessing and classifying species in Ontario, will not change. However, the government would have discretion to add extirpated, endangered, and threatened species to the list of protected species. The government would also have discretion to remove protected species from the list.”

Why bother having an independent assessment if there is full authority for the government to do whatever they feel is in their best interest of pushing development.
