It is imperative that Ontario's endangered species legislation not be weakened in any way. No business interest is more important than our collective interest in preserving our province's biodiversity, and saving species from extinction.
The only changes made to the Endangered Species Act should be, instead, to strengthen and expand it, and to close any existing loopholes that might allow business interests or developers to carve out exceptions.
If businesses and developers cannot figure out how to make money without doing damage to Ontario's biodiversity, they are in the wrong line of work.
I, and other Ontarians are watching closely, and will continue to do so. The current government's willingness to sell off our common inheritance is reprehensible, and is proof that it cannot be trusted.
