I think the changes give the Minister too much discretionary power, and will create a backlog, further endangering species at risk.
Regarding having municipalities or developers pay a fee to exempt them from doing the due diligence necessary is immoral. There can be no $$ amount that will make up for species at risk losing or having their habitat changed further endangering their population.
The 3 month implementation period should stand. Pushing it to 12 months would, again, put endangered species at further risk.
