Regarding Area of Focus 3.

A species/Ontarians may benefit from additional time for the Goverment Response Statement in the context of Range shifts due to climate change. Species that may not face any immediate challenges may face them in the future, and would benefit from additional time. (The alternative is being ignored in the present moment, as a GRS would be ignored, despite the risk the species is facing). The GRS should be exteneded when recovery approaches for a species are required).

The GRS should be initiated when a species where additional data is likely to be made over a longer timeframe.

The development of a habitat regulation again should take into account the future range shifts species may experience when exposed to climate change. A regulation where a habitat is protected and the species leaves is useful to no one.
