I am worried about your proposal. I would like to echo the WWF in stating the following:
•Changes to the Endangered Species Act should improve protections, not water them down even further.
•This review won’t help species at risk if it doesn’t address exemptions that make it too easy for business and industry to do even more harm to critical habitat. Clearly defined no-go zones protect wildlife – while creating efficiencies for business by making it clear where development won’t be permitted.
•We need protections that lead to recovery for species-at-risk in Ontario– we don’t need changes that will drive more species to extinction
I hope you will take this matter seriously and know that Ontarians like myself place a high value on the environment and all of the species at risk. Ontario is NOT open for business if it is at the expense of environmental protections. Our ESA should be strengthened and loopholes that favour developers should be closed. Please don't fail the earth in this matter, we won't get a second chance to get it right.
