I am deeply concerned by the proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act. I care about the future of endangered creatures in Ontario and I believe we should be doing our part to protect them and support their recovery. I urge you to change course and do the following:

- Keep the scientific decisions for scientists ONLY. Do not open the Committee on the Status of Species at Risk in Ontario to non-experts.
- Do NOT allow a pay-to-proceed conservation fund that will let big business opt out of protecting species.
- Instead of extending timelines for government action, work harder to get plans to recover species implemented right away.

My Ontario is a place for wildlife, and a place for rare and endangered animals to recover and survive. Do not take us back a decade in species protections with these dangerous and regressive changes.
