It appears that the goals of your proposal are redundant since the current Endangered Species Act and the law already meets your proposed outcomes. In you proposal, you rightly state that "Ontarians are fortunate to live in a province that is filled with clean air, land and water, valuable resources, and an incredible diversity of more than 30,000 species of plants, insects, fish and wildlife." That is why changes to the Act which suggest that Ministers have final discretion to adding endangered species to the list, moving away from a scientific-based, non-political approach will endanger not only our environment but out ability to enjoy the natural world, ultimately affecting the well being of Ontarians.
