As members and volunteers of the Bruce Trail Conservancy, my husband and I are deeply concerned that our provincial government's goal is to weaken or remove the current Endangered Species Act (ESA). Because wording like "streamlining approvals" and "supporting economic development" sounds like that is what the government really wants to do!
If anything, the government should be looking for ways to strengthen the ESA. One of the government's fundamental jobs is to protect Ontario's natural treasures - its plants, animals, and their habitats - from harm. That is how you create and maintain a healthy economy for Ontario! And leave a legacy of which our children and their children can be proud.
