I am deeply concerned by the proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act. I care about the future of endangered creatures in Ontario and I believe we should be doing our part to protect them and support their recovery. I urge you to change course and do the following:

Keep the scientific decisions for scientists ONLY. Do not open the Committee on the Status of Species at Risk in Ontario to non-experts.
Do NOT allow a pay-to-proceed conservation fund that will let big business opt out of protecting species.
Instead of extending timelines for government action, work harder to get plans to recover species implemented right away.
My Ontario is a place for wildlife, and a place for rare and endangered animals to recover and survive. Do not take us back a decade in species protections with these dangerous and regressive changes.

In a time when our species is causing a global extinction event, we in Ontario need to do our utmost to save biodiversity!
