"Require COSSARO to consider a species’ condition around its broader biologically relevant geographic area, inside and outside Ontario, before classifying a species as endangered or threatened. If the overall condition of risk to the species in the broader biologically relevant geographic area is lower, COSSARO would be required to adjust the species’ classification to reflect its overall condition."
This should not be allowed as you will inevitably wipe out the SAR in that area just because there are more of the same species elsewhere, thereby allowing the SAR environment to be compromised, effectively ensuring it's extermination.

To temporarily suspend SAR territories for up to three years is ridiculous. Once a SAR is identified in that area, the protection should become immediate.
