TO whom it may concern,

I completely disagree with a number of the proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act. The majority of these changes are introducing working "loopholes" into the Act that in spite of available solid scientific evidence, would allow decision makers ways around the Act protecting this province's wildlife. I see this proposal as a real step back for Ontario and one that does not at all reflect the majority of its residents.

If anything, the Act policy review should be looking at stricter and more encompassing criteria and ways to reinforce and protect our environment. It is time for provincial and federal politicians to bring our natural resources at the forefront, raise public awareness, and help inflate the recognized the value of our fish and wildlife.
