News flash it's not all about money. We are a wealthy province in a wealthy country. We can afford to protect our endangered species. There are some things that money cannot buy. Bringing a species back from Extinction is one of those things but money can prevent the extinction in the first place. Read more

A review of Ontario’s Endangered Species Act could be exactly what wildlife need, but 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. Read more

We need to strengthen species/habitat protection, not water down legislation to make it easier for developers to strip the land. Containing urban sprawl and encouraging density in already established cities is a preferable alternative. Read more

I' m very concerned that any review of the Endangered Species Act should improve protections, not water them down even further. I' m very worried that existing development is already decreasing habitat for wildlife and hope that there will be areas protected from development .

The amount of endangered species in Ontario shouldn’t be this high. Continuing to destroy the home of all these animals is a shame. I believe we shouldn’t tear down forests, they are habitats to endangered species. Animals should not be treated this way.

I am a working professional in Ontario, of course I care about local and corporate business' and their success in my area. That does NOT mean however, that integral parts of our legislation, put in place to protect the most vulnerable species out there, should be so callously changed/dismissed!! Read more

I do not support the current 'open for business' approach we are seeing in Ontario environmental policy, particularly in the ESA. Deregulation to make it easier for industry and development, at the expense of irreplaceable habitat and species, it not something I support for Ontario's future. Read more

We must protect our endangered and at-risk species. Once they are gone, that is something we can never fix. As the population of Ontario grows, more habitats are taken away or reduced. We must do everything we can to protect these species, even if it means losing money or potential profits. Read more

The biodiversity and environmental balance of our province shouldn't be something we sacrifice for business. Doing so put a bad image of us on the international tourism stage, and in turn could costs tax payers dearly to undo. Read more
