Included in the name of the act, the sole purpose and focus of the act and corresponding procedures must be to protect endangered species otherwise we will be negating the whole purpose. The rate of decline and forecast for vulnerable species is not a positive one and they are all a vital part of our ecosystem that contributes to a healthy society and economy. Business needs to stop being a blind focus area because opening up of spaces and protection does harm to all of us by putting off a healthy balance. The majority of ontarians support protection of natural areas, species and action on climate change and this is only going to increase as younger people begin to vote. We saw this in the comments/ responses to scrapping cap and trade and sex ed curriculum as well, which wasnt listened to. The engagement process of Ontarians must have integrity and we must be respected and lack of a genuine process will undermine public trust of governance.
