The "Challenges" for most of…

The "Challenges" for most of these suggested changes are to business. I would like to challenge this government to consider that some things are priceless: the ecosystem that we depend on for our very survival cannot be valued highly enough. It doesn't always look like life-giving necessities; it often looks like small animals whose habitat is being degraded or paved over to deliver short-term economic benefits. "Streamlining" processes designed to perpetuate entire species for the sake of certainty for businesses is short-sighted and foolish. Please, for the sake of those species and the species who depend upon them (ultimately, our children) maintain stringent barriers to development in areas with species at risk. If a project cannot be completed in a way that allows all creatures in its area to survive and thrive, perhaps it shouldn't be done at all.
