The reach and authority of the ESA needs to be extended not diminished. While economic development is important it can not be prioritized over the health of our environment.

Environmental health, while monitored and maintained locally, is a global concern. Decisions need to made using verified scientific data and weighed against Ontario’s global responsibilities.

Too many provisions have already been made since the establishment of the ESA resulting in continued habitat destruction. To allow further provisions would nullify the ESA’s purpose and put more species at risk.

The federal government has made significant financial commitments supporting the reform of environmental law and the growth of conversation activities. Ontario should be supporting these activities, not counteracting them.

Please protect our species at risk. Please protect our future.
