Ford government
I am part of the Ontario constituents who CARE deeply about protecting the environment. I can read between the lines to see what ‘efficiencies’ and making things easier for business might mean in terms of protecting species that are currently known to be at risk and helping them recover, and also, to identify and protect those that are nearing at risk status. Do NOT loosen regulations to allow developers to skip environmental assessments which will further endanger wildlife - plants, animals, insects, birds and micro organisms — ALL OF WHICH are vital to maintain a healthy balance. Protecting nature is paramount to our own survival. Increase protections now. Sure, if you can make it simpler and easier, do that, but not at the risk of skipping or cheating on rules that protect Ontario’s wildlife. Business can look after themselves, just fine. We must voice our desire to protect those with no voice to protect themselves.

Once gone, species and the environments they need to survive cannot return. We owe it to our children and theirs to leave them a legacy of a rich, healthy and bio diverse environment in Ontario.
