We need to prioritize the environment, not "efficiencies for business." Protect wildlife, green spaces, forests, farm land, and all natural resources. A review of Ontario's Endangered Species Act should emphasize environmental interests, NOT the interests of businesses. There is already too much land being lost to development in the Niagara Region already. I want better protections for Ontario's species at risk, and this should include addressing extant the exemptions that make it too easy for business to harm our environment and endangered species. It is vital to protect the habitats of Ontario's wildlife and species at risk. We need clearly defined no-go zones where businesses and industry are not permitted to development. Also, we need protections that lead to recovery for species-at-risk in Ontario, not changes that will cause or contribute to extinction. We have wiped out too many species in the recent past and this could have catastrophic consequences for humans as well.
