This proposal allows the businesses to operate as usual without regard for species at risk or endangered species. Under the current PC government, they have planned to build warehouses on wetlands, and think that they can relocate wetlands.

"This proposal is expected to reduce burden as individuals conducting activities that meet the eligibility requirements would not need to obtain a permit or agreement as long as, they follow the conditions set out in the regulation.

The proposed changes increase the predictability of regulatory requirements, enabling cost and time savings to individuals, businesses, and the government.

The amendments will allow O. Reg. 242/08 to apply generally to those species that will be listed on the SARO List in 2022 as extirpated, endangered or threatened except as specified.

By not requiring people to obtain permits to manage or register their activities is irresponsible as many businesses, organization and individuals lack the ethics to self govern and who will be ensuring that they are complying to the conditions of the regulation."

The Amazon warehouse in Pickering, the Tottenham Airfield disaster, Lions in Palgrave are examples of where the government did not step in until residents alerted them to the lack of concern for the environment or species at risk. Clear cutting, importation of fill, storage of toxic chemicals and materials will impact our species and the future of Ontario.

There are no documented cases where individuals and businesses have complied even when they were supposedly monitored. This does not make sense, does not protect endangered or threatened species and allows for profit individuals and businesses to bypass regulations and monitoring.

This is ridiculous.
