With over 240 species at risk in Ontario and half of Canada's wildlife in decline, we clearly need stronger protections for wildlife.

I believe that changes to the Endangered Species Act should improve protections, not water them down even further. From what I can see, this review won’t help Ontario's species at risk if it doesn’t address exemptions that make it easy for business and industry to harm to critical habitat. There should at least be clearly defined no-go zones to protect wildlife. This would create efficiencies for business by making it clear where development won’t be permitted.

We need protections that lead to recovery for species-at-risk in Ontario. We don’t need changes that will drive more species to extinction!

Thank you for your attention to these concerns.
