With well over 200 species currently at risk in Ontario, we need to strengthen Ontario's Endangered Species Act in order to protect and support our endangered species!

So far, the Conservative government has not shown itself to be a friend of the environment.
Doing away with the Office of the Environmental Commissioner seems irresponsible on the part of the Conservative government.

'Reviewing' the Endangered Species Act will most certainly amount to environmental deregulation which is nothing short of an attack on wildlife and habitats.

Deregulation will ultimately result in making it easier for developers and industry to develop sensitive lands, devastating at-risk species and habitats along the way.
Land protections are critical to healthy ecosystems and a healthy environment for all.

I urge the Conservative government of Ontario to do the right thing!
