In order for any…

In order for any biodiversity and quality habits to exist in ontario the endangered species act must be enforced and strengthened not weakened. We are losing habitat and species at a rate that is impacting quality of life for everyone. We need forests trees and wildlife for our childrens health and our own.The new proposal is only going to weaken what we have gained in the last 5 years. PLEASE!!
- 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.
