I urge MECP to:

Repeal the 2013 exemptions for the forestry, hydro, mining and development industries;
Amend section 57 (1)1 of the ESA so that exemptions will only be allowed if they do not jeopardize the survival and recovery of endangered and threatened species;
Maintain COSSARO’s current science-based listing process;
Maintain mandatory habitat protection with no ministerial discretion; and
Maintain the requirement for proponents of harmful activities to provide an on-the-ground overall benefit to species impacted with no backdoor option to simply pay into a fund to compensate for harm.
