Thank you for the opportunity to comment. I am strongly opposed to the Government of Ontario's proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act. What we need is greater protection of endangered and threatened species, not less. We need to make every effort to ensure their recovery, by focusing on habitat protection, minimizing the effect of industry on our lands and waters, and repealing the numerous exemptions for forestry, hydro, mining and commercial development that were introduced in 2013. We will not get a second chance once these species are gone. The time to save them is now.
