I agree with the proposed changes, as they give a balanced approach to dealing with SARO. The Butternut is a prime example of a species which exists in very large numbers here in Ottawa and else where across ON, and the requirement for replacement does not further our understanding of how to stop the disease. Allowing a proponent to fund a research program or possibly support an acquisition of an ANSI or land of ecological significance will go along way in ensuring the heath and well being of the species at risk.
Thank you for taking the time to conduct a review SARO to ensure that this program and other programs are providing a benefit to Ontario.
