I strongly oppose the proposal to eliminate the Endangered Species Act in our province. Removing this critical legislation would open the door to unchecked destruction of habitats and ecosystems that countless vulnerable species depend on for survival. Paving over wetlands, forests, and other sensitive areas may bring short-term economic gain, but it comes at an irreversible cost to our biodiversity, environmental health, and future generations.

The Endangered Species Act exists not only to protect plants and animals, but also to preserve the ecological balance that supports clean air, fresh water, and climate resilience. Gutting these protections is not progress—it’s a reckless step backward. I urge the government to invest in sustainable development that works in harmony with nature, not against it. We have a responsibility to be stewards of the land, not destroyers of it.
