We need to protect our wildlife, not sacrifice it at the alter of short sighted greed. Any changes made to the Endangered Species Act must act to strengthen the protections it provided to Ontario's wildlife.
Any changes made need to be 100% to the benefit of the animals. They are living sentient beings and humans have been encroaching on their land and killing them off at a far too rapid pace.

We need a stronger ESA, not a weaker one. A short-sighted fixation on environmental deregulation serves no-one’s long-term interests, not even those of businesses. A healthy economy depends on a healthy environment. We all have a stake in protecting the natural world.

Animals have been here long before humans and if you think not changing rules, regulations, laws, anything to help these animals is making not even a dent on our ecosystem then you are so so wrong. Be the change the animals need, not the humans need.

Thank you for providing a chance for the electorate to comment on what their government may be proposing.
Changes to the Endangered Species Act should improve protections, not water them down even further.

Ontario has 243 species at risk of extinction. I worry that your government's cosy-ness with big business and your expressed desire to find "efficiencies" for business will hinder, not help, recovery of these species. We cannot make it easier for industry to pollute and disturb wildlife!

It's like the P.C. party sits around and says "how can we be more evil?"
You cannot be serious about taking away protections from endangered species, I would advise you to reconsider and abandon this cruel and ecologically horrendous move.

Government policies play a critical part in protecting the wildlife that is endangered/at risk of extinction. We need to work together in government and business to create sustainable business practices that protect the environment and all living things.

I greatly look forward to the revisions to this act. Whereas in the past environmental issues have been so often at odds with economic and social policies, it is most certainly true that our environmental objectives lie inseparably with all other political ones.

We need stronger regulations to protect species at risk! Species and nature provide far more economic value than industries. Without clean water, soil and air, we cannot live. Industries rarely incorporate the entire life cycle of production discounting the cost to clean up after them.

The government’s emphasis on creating “efficiencies for business” could make it even easier for industry to disturb and pollute nature where at-risk species need protections most.

Any review or changes to the Endangered Species Act must seek to improve protections for the environment. Short-sighted business practices are a significant contributor to the fact that we have endangered species to being with.
