I think that the Ontario ESA is actually quite strong in terms of legal requirements. The legal requirements (law, legislation) does not require any alterations. There are provisions in the ESA to that allow businesses to flourish and there are mechanisms included to allow economic prosperity - indeed it is possible to have economic prosperity and protect Ontario's species.

I think the main problems with the ESA that need addressing are with implementation, not with the legislation. We need to find solutions that make sense in terms of effective implementation of the current ESA.
