Hello! Thank you for…

Hello! Thank you for receiving my comment.

In Ontario, more than 230 plants and animals are at risk. The healthy forests, waters and wetlands these species at risk rely on sustain all Ontarians.

I am urging the following actions:

– Cancel Bill 5 and plans to scrap the Endangered Species Act or implement “regulation-free zones” for resource extraction.

– Commit to strengthening the Endangered Species Act.

Rather than significantly weakening protections for species at risk, your government should be safeguarding biodiversity, respecting Indigenous rights and ensuring local communities benefit from the ecosystem services that nature freely provides.

Failure to do will result in irreversible damage to ecosystems that the government will spend time and resources to repair and remedy years from now. Why can't goals to develop Ontario AND preserve ecosystems co-exist?
