Schedule 5 of Bill 108…

Schedule 5 of Bill 108 should be withdrawn. It is inconsistent with the Made in Ontario Environment Plan which says the province will protect species at risk. The proposals rely on untested and unproven ideas such as a new administrative to collect fees for destroying species or habitat. There is no compelling evidence that this approach will restore destroyed species or habitat. This is especially true in the southern part of the province where little Crown land exists to use for replacement. It is very possible the proposed approach in Schedule 5 is not a good idea.
