I would like there to be stricter laws regarding environmental protection of endangered species within Canada. In habitats with endangered flora and fauna species, a company should not be possible to destroy the important habitat for a construction project while providing financial "compensation". We could do so much more in order to protect species by identifying where the most at risk species are living and conserving and restoring these areas.

While we have a large amount of natural areas in Canada, we continue to treat them as though they are expendable without regard for many endangered species living within them. I hope the review of the Endangered Species Act will include stricter laws for development and will provide much more complete protection to them as well, including wildlife corridors for disbursement as well as the habitat itself.
