I have grave concerns with the proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act. We need the biodiversity of species throughout the province. There was a recent report on the consequences of climate change and the likely loss of over one million species as a result. We should be doing everything in our power to prevent this. We certainly should not be making it easier to destroy the habitat of species by allowing a "payment in lieu" option. This act should be protecting the endangered species at risk and quickly listing more species as they become a species of special concern. I very much agree with the concerns raised by Ontario Nature in their Blog about the proposed changes. I ask that you reconsider the proposed changes.
