I am very concerned about the talk of allowing business to pay into some fund to atone for environmental damage their proposals would commit. This would likely be a token cost that would hardly touch the damage done. It seems to me that even the current regulations are too weak in protecting the species at risk. This will further degrade protection.
It will suit business to streamline processing of proposals but due time is needed for proper review. Damage to our species at risk has serious permanent implications.
