An update of the Endangered Species Act should focus on improving our methods of protection for Ontario's species at risk. However, this proposal also aims to streamline the ESA for 'ecomnomic development'. Disregarding the urgency of Ontario's 243 species at risk will inevitably result in the extirpation of many keystone species. Economic development should not come at the cost of Ontario's biodiversity.
