This comment is being submitted on behalf of Animbiigoo Zaagi’igan Anishinaabek First Nation in response to the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Park's (MECP) "10th Year Review of Ontario's Endangered Species Act: Proposed Changes" and those sections of Bill 108, More Homes, More Choice Act, 2019 that pertain to the proposed Endangered Species Act changes.
In sum, our submission expresses our deep concern for the proposed changes put forth by the MECP. We believe that these changes are not only regressive in terms of protections for species at risk, but are dismissive of our comment regarding the engagement of Animbiigoo Zaagi’igan Anishinaabek First Nation in the protection of Species at Risk.
In light of our above concerns, we are urging the MECP to review and re-consider the attached supporting documents in order to demonstrate more meaningful engagement with Indigenous peoples on this highly important and valued legislation.
