This review is deeply concerning since it indicates that 'economic development' is driving the review rather than the need to protect our endangered species. What is going on in this Province? We've already seen how developers have deep tentacles in our conservation authorities, prompting decisions that are in the best interests of the developers at the blatant expense of our most vulnerable wildlife.
The government watchdog, ECO, that did such a brilliant report on the limitations of MNRF is conveniently being shut down in a few months time. Another sign that we're being 'managed'.
I'm a member of the public, someone who observes from the sidelines but also someone who is seeing a great injustice being done. Many small groups came together over proposed Bill 66. I belong to one of these groups. We're watching - and the latest "review" is nothing but an opportunity to make life even easier for those who seek to make a profit at the expense of our environment. Shame on whoever is driving this.
