Please revise this Act to ensure that it balances the need for resource development (eg. forestry) in Northern Ontario. Currently, management systems such as caribou mosaics (DCHS) are forcing wood to be harvested when it should not be and reduces wood supply available. This not only deters investment, but it is inconsistent with combating climate change.
We are not creating forest management plans for generating economic activity, rather we are developing caribou habitat plans. This is an environmentally false approach.
Please ensure sound science and forest professionals are at the table when discussing changes to the ESA.
Thank-you
