RE: 10th Year Review of Ontario’s Endangered Species Act: Discussion Paper, ERO number 013-4143
To whom it may concern,
On behalf of Lavern Heideman and Sons Limited, thank you for the opportunity to comment on ERO number 013-4143. As a member of the OFIA we look forward to working with your government to improve the effectiveness of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and ensure a balanced approach between a healthy environment and a healthy economy.
We are in full support of the OFIA’s recommendation of permanent recognition of the Crown Forest Sustainability Act (CFSA) as an equivalent process to the Endangered Species Act (ESA), through a perpetual Section 55 Regulation.
On our own licence we see our harvest operating window continue to shrink and this has a direct impact on our work force and log deliveries. It is our understanding that the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) is responsible for species at risk prescriptions currently being delivered under the CFSA. It is our hope that we can work with the MNRF to improve restrictive prescriptions regardless of any future changes made to the ESA.
Sincerely,
Mike Johns
