Modifying the endangered species act to help businesses is one of the worst things that we could do for our country. An uncountable number of animals live in Ontario and rely on many others for survival, and to cause some of those to die out would be horrible not only for our environment but for ourselves as well. I know more about Monarch butterflies than the other species as I look out for them every year, and they are one of the most beautiful creatures that we have in Ontario. They are already suffering and reducing in number, and to kill them off for the sake of revenue is a horrible thing to do. Imagine someone deciding that an entire group of people should die just for the sake of some money, that's what it's like here. We've already caused enough damage to the environment, we need to focus on repairing that damage and not making it worse.
The Ontario Endangered Species Act is a last line of defence against extinction in an era that scientists have termed the sixth mass extinction on the planet.
Canada’s wildlife depends on innovative regulations, policies, and programs that make conservation of species at risk the primary goal.
Stronger and more effective action is the key to protection and recovery of Ontario’s endangered species and providing clarity for business, not building further holes in the Endangered Species Act. The Act already contains exemptions and permits for industry and the need for permits has been removed entirely for some activities that negatively impact species at risk
