These changes to the Endangered Species Act are significantly worse for animals, ecosystems and us in Ontario who enjoy time outside and the health benefits of being in nature.

- I oppose putting economic growth ahead of species protection.
- Scientific findings shouldn’t be politically vetoed. Protect evidence-based conservation.
- Don’t narrow the definition of ‘habitat,’ recovery depends on future restoration zones.
- Bring back mandatory recovery plans! Species need long-term strategies, not short-term fixes.
- Reinstate the Advisory Committee. We need oversight, not silence.
- Reverse the exclusion of aquatic species & migratory birds! They deserve provincial protection too and contribute to a healthy and secure ecosystem.
- Stop the exemption of permits from public comment. Transparency is non-negotiable.
