Please do not amend Ontario Regulation 242/08. Crown forests should be protected, as should all species under the Endangered Species Act. For these species to survive their habitat (i.e. forests, including Crown forests) needs to stay intact. [Original Comment ID: 212758]

For the past decade, the implementation of the ESA for forestry has been a difficult issue for Ontario. Read more
