The proposed changes pose…

The proposed changes pose very dangerous outcomes to the health of our ecosystems. Many of the endangered species who will be detrimentally impacted by such amendments are integral parts of environmental ecosystems. If we let the species on the endangered list become extinct, then we will be losing biodiversity which damages the overall health of the ecosystem. This is critically important as we begin to feel stronger impacts of climate change - hotter summers, colder winters, more severe storms, greater instances of parasites and invasive species - and our greatest protection against such resultant impacts including floods and drought are healthy ecosystems.

By allowing entities to literally pay to circumvent incredibly important regulations, you are putting the entire province at an economic liability. Climate change will cost more than any protective regulations will. The numbers are fairly simple. Please do not force Ontarian's to pay for poor decisions. Our tax dollars matter to us.
