The government should not be…

The government should not be able to remove species from the at risk list as it may have financial incentive to do so.
The narrowing if the definition of habitat puts animals in danger. We cannot encroach on their territory and expect them to not be negatively impacted.
The removal of "harass" from protective regulation is also dangerous as animals are sensitive and, while it may not seem like something major to us, harassment could negatively impact their well being, health, and safety.
Economic growth will be irrelevant of we do not care for the environment, including plant and animal life.
Permits SHOULD be required for all projects. It takes time to assess the potential impacts a project could have, and that's how it should be. We cannot survive without thriving, balanced natural environments / ecosystems, so we need to put in the time and work it takes to protect them.
Further, the removal of advisory committees seems like a way to escape accountability .
This whole plan seems to be motivated by money and greed.
As stewards of the land, Indigenous Peoples should be consulted directly in this process as well.
