The previous actions of this government show a trend of gutting environmental regulations and protections, this is unacceptable and cannot continue. Species listed on SARO sit on a delicate balance and changes to their home range need to be taken with the utmost caution. While this government argues that there is too much red tape and that it slows down the provinces economic growth and development, these guidelines are necessary to ensure that a business will not negatively impact a SARO species.

The uncertainty that the document mentions about SARO species means we should err on the side of caution when considering any development in the home range of an at risk or endangered species. Unless this review has the unlikely result of strengthening the provinces protections for these species, there should be no changes to our current laws and guidelines surrounding how we protect species that are struggling to survive.
