I want to see the changes to the Endangered Species Act to strengthen protections for endangered species in Ontario, not water them down further. This review needs to ensure it addresses exemptions that make it too easy for business and industry to cause further harm to critical habitat. It needs clearly defined no-go zones to protect wildlife which in turn improves efficiencies for business by making it clear where development will not be permitted.
Ontario should show leadership in environmental and wildlife protection. It should show innovation in business that respects and protects wildlife. We don’t need changes that will put at-risk species further at risk.
