Dear Han Phillips,

I have been informed about your proposal on changes towards the Endangered Species Act and through careful analysis, your proposal is reasonably thought out and crafted. I conquer that adjustments should be manufactured to have some economic development while still remaining to care for species in need. To go alongside your proposal, I have a few suggestions to be taken into consideration while finalizing your decision.
To begin, a meeting between some representatives in the natural resource industries, politicians, conservation scientists and the members of COSSARO should occur to negotiate decisions and acts towards the species, their environment, or any development or changes seeked. This would benefit for giving insight from experts in the fields affected by what’s presently occurring to make reasonable decisions that still prioritize the species and environment's well being. As well, by adding conservation scientists, both the economy’s needs and care for the species and their environment will be worked together so both are positively affected after the changes are made. Additional to this point, please confirm that each party has diligent research on their needs, but remain flexible and still negotiate an understanding. This research would consist on changes they desire from what’s currently happening, why their industries needs this change, how they want to change it, and as well as the after effects for both the company and the environment/species in the long term.
Another suggestion to take into consideration is to make the care for each species on the list different based on their placement on the list (eg. endangered versus at risk) and as well as how big of a part they play on biodiversity (eg. coral reefs). Also, have the COSSARO set limitations for certain species that play a big part in biodiversity. Those limitations would be strictly illegal as they would negatively affect those species while economic profit is held as the priority. This would be revised by the conservation scientists to seek fairness and once finalized are non-negotiable until next year with updated information on those species.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my letter and consider my suggestions for further development in Ontario’s economy while still remaining true to Ontario’s animals and ecosystems.

Sincerely,
a caring citizen of Ontario
