Comment
I believe that the Ontario Government should:
Withdraw the Species Conservation Act and restore the Endangered Species Act.
Reassign all “Special Concern” species to the protected list and maintain provincial oversight for aquatic and migratory bird species.
Keep full public transparency and review under the Environmental Bill of Rights.
Mandate strong, enforceable standards for habitat protection and recovery planning.
Fund real enforcement so that promises on paper translate into protection on the ground.
Ontario can — and must — choose a different path.
