Reading the proposal it sounds like you have the species at risk’s best interest in mind but what gets me is when you say streamline processes for applications for development for example. This is raising some alarms. Read more

Thanks for this chance to comment on the review of the Ontario Endangered Species Act. My experience is that too often an endangered species occupies a battleground between people who wish to build on a piece of land and people who do not wish them to build on that same piece of land. Read more

It is completely inappropriate to be changing the Endangered Species Act in order to find "efficiencies for businesses." Protect habitat not businesses. It will often require regulations and red tape to protect habitat and species from those whose only consideration is profit.

Flora and fauna is part of our natural heritage. We should all be proud of it and respect nature. We have some very special iconic species which we should be proud of and show the world that it's not just money we're after. Read more

Playing with at risk animals is not an option. Choosing to neglect or modify the Ontario Endangered Species act to be more lenient is reckless and short sighted. Better protections should be the way forward not the opposite. Read more

I am greatly concerned the government may be making it easier for industry and developers to destroy the habitat for species at risk. Any changes to the ESA must support its purpose of protecting and recovering species at risk. Please: Read more

Even though you have a majority government in Ontario, you were only elected by less than 40% of the voters, who actually voted. So please do not bulldoze over what people hold dear. Honour the Ontario Endangered Species Act. Read more

I am concerned that this review will weaken protections for endangered and at-risk species. Economic development is good, of course, but making things easier for industry does not have the life-or-death significance of protecting endangered animals. Read more

We must look to the future and not look for short term gain without consideration and a plan for our environment and wildlife habitat. We must avoid continuing the spiral of mass extinction. We have to recognize the connection in living in a healthy planet and living with less impact. Read more

Upheaving, extracting, and streamlining such endeavours cannot result in a positive outcome. I understand that in Canada we are rich with natural resources, but I also understand that given the global climate crisis right now, that we do not have the “room” to be experimental. Read more

So much of what this Ontario conservative government does is behind the scenes, bullying and of no interest to the average person in Ontario. This is just one more example of Ford’s “trump Ian” attitude to what is best for the little guy. Read more
