ERO number 013-4143
I am concerned that the proposed changes will actually endanger species even more. I don’t see how species protection and supporting the economy go hand in hand. Many of the concerns listed seem to indicate that more leeway is needed, that more time for the government to come up with a response is needed, and that a review of the situation after the government response should happen later than it currently does. More time equals more time for species to become more endangered. Please when reviewing this Act, keep in mind its original goal, which is to protect endangered species from extinction, not to protect businesses and the economy. There are a plethora of other Acts that do that. Once a species is gone, there is no getting it back. Ontarians are counting on you to ensure that these species survive, the economy and businesses will do just fine.
