This is the second proposed…

This is the second proposed legislative action/review that I have read and to which I hope to respond. Unfortunately, there is not enough infomation on this web site to make properly informed and useful comments.

As always the devil is in the details - which are missing in action. The explanation of this review is anodyne on its surface and any sane person would applaud improvements in the process of determining species at risk. Most would support the idea of integrating the newest and best science on the subject. And it goes without saying that Ontario's citizens want the most effective safeguards and outcomes for wildlife.

What is NOT addressed is the current government's lethal drive to tear up all the efforts of previous governments to preserve and conserve the vitality of green space, clean waters and unpolluted air.

Not at all sure the current party is entitled to use either progressive or conservative in its name. Indeed many people have commented on the appearance of the perfect oxymoron the name presents.

Exactly how this discussion paper plays into the "opening Ontario to (rapacious) business" is crucially omitted.

The previous solicitation of comments for Bill 66 also skated nervously over or showered dinky dust on, the ill effects on people, justice, fairness, health and safety...etc. This government like so many puts on a show of transparency and consultation without spelling out in detail what they are REALLY trying to effect. It is always possible, through misdirection to get approval for something one has described in criminally misleading terms. The practice is known as fraud - or "conning" in thieves cant.
