As for the protection of any species at risk the very last thing that should be considered is how to get around the species at risk act for economic development. There is absolutely no reason what so ever that economic development should even be considered where there is a species at risk.

I am deeply concerned about climate change and how this endangers animals. Ontario needs an ambitious climate action plan that exceeds the target that was in the former climate plan in order to protect species from endangerment. Ontario needs an independent Environmental Commissioner of Ontario.

This is the right approach that is long overdue.
Species classifications should be reviewed. For example:
Bald eagles - are common in northern Ontario but more limited in numbers in the south. Perhaps this listing can be adjusted

It is important to recognize and protect these important lands to ensure we stop, or at least slow the pace of, our environmental destruction of species and ecosystems.

Only in the sad, little, backwards world of Doug Ford and his greedy developers is economic development in any way related to protecting endangered species.

I am deeply worried that the current government will take away or natural environment's protection from human "progress". I really don't have much faith in their concern for the planet.
This new administration seems primarily focused on developers, and making them happy. Your brief repeats "look for ways to streamline approvals and provide clarity to support economic development." far too many times.

Since when does the existence of wild life have anything to do with business. It is actually a lot of businesses who destroy the wildlife by continuing to ignore environmental protection laws or the biodiversity of the network of wildlife.

It is vital that protections for endangered species in Ontario remain strong. This government has shown during its short time in office that it does not value our environmental protections.

The idea that Mr. Ford wants to weaken the act to find "business efficiencies" is disgusting and immoral. If he goes through with this, he's lost my vote.
As an Ontario tax paying and voting citizen I do not think that efficiencies need to found to make it easier for businesses. In fact, the opposite needs to happen and make it harder for businesses to encroach on endangered species that need to be saved.

As a tax paying and voting citizen of Ontario, this shouldn’t be up for review. There is so much concrete and definitely not enough green spaces.

Please, protect animals and plants of all kinds strongly and resolutely.
Do not reduce protections. Many species are at great risk already.
"Progress" that does not protect animals and plants is not progress at all.

business has no place in how we protect the environment. Environmental protection should be evaluated based on science and conservation, now how "businesses can gain efficiency". To hell with any business that would try to damage our beautiful land.

We must protect out endangered species and the environment by putting them ahead of any business prioritizes. Our laws and regulations regarding endangered and threatened species must be protected and enhanced. We should not allow business interests to destroy our precious species.
