I have seen the mess left in so called, "Demonstration Forests!" Clear cutting is devastating to any species, let alone species at risk!

·I support the establishment of a multi-stakeholder panel to provide critical oversight and input on a workable solution for the Endangered Species Act ·The extension should be five years instead of two, so that the panel can do its work effectively and work through the very complex issues associate

It is unacceptable to me to even entertain the idea of exempting the logging industry from rules that protect the caribou and the boreal forest. Our precious nature must be protected.

Please commit to ensuring the protection of Canadian Carribou. The preservation of these creatures is the perfect legacy and message to pass on to future generations. You have the responsibility of guardianship of this earth.
Thank you.

No exempting logging companies from protecting endangered species: Ontario polipiticians: do your job and protect the caribou from the loss of the boreal forests.

I support the extension of the Section 55 regulation. I recommend that the extension be for five years to provide adequate time for an expert stakeholder panel to resolve this complex issue.

Do the right thing for the future of our country, not short-lived jobs and profit. Difficult decisions and compromises, I know. But the ecosystem must be sustained for all, humanity, animals, the forest and the timber companies.

The logging industry has a signifgant negative effect on the forest environment, and especially on old growth and its dependent plant and animal species. Caribou populations are now crashing because of reasons that include habitat destruction.

No company should ever be exempt from any Act that protects the environment or wildlife. Companies and Corporations, whether large or small, represent the greatest threat to species in the affected areas. To allow them an exemption is the equivalent of cancelling the Act in its entirety.

I support an extension to the section 55 ESA regulation. My job and many others in the forest industry in Northern Ontario will be lost or seriously jeopardy with the implementation of the section 55 regulation in the ESA.

It’s unacceptable to exempt the logging industry from rules that protect the caribou and the boreal forest. The biggest threats to endangered species is the loss of their habitat. Logging would affect many more animals than the caribou.

I firmly believe that it is unacceptable for the Ontario government to exempt the logging industry from Ontario’s Endangered Species at Risk Act until at least 2020.
