Please don't make changes…

Please don't make changes slanted towards making "business" your priority when reviewing the Endangered Species Act.

The environment does matter and it is important to me and my children that we preserve as much of the natural environment as we can. We need to protect those species that are at risk and do our best to prevent even more species from being added to the endangered species list by the Progressive Conservative government if it fails to take strong positive action.

Let's halt and hopefully reverse the decline in Ontario’s animal, plant and other species by properly enforcing the Act and meeting its deadlines with proper funding for enforcement.

Attempting to increase efficiencies for businesses would be the wrong approach and enforcement and application of the Act should not be at "ministerial discretion".

Please remember that when a species does go extinct there is no bringing it back from the dead. And for every species that does go down, our own long term survival as a species becomes more precarious because of the lose of diversity.
