I am concerned that the watering down of regulations regarding the protection of at risk and endangered species will result in extinction of many native species. I believe this is solely being done to exploit their habitats to promote economic development and business greed.

It is worrying that the proposal summary states one of the goals is "[looking] for ways to streamline approvals and provide clarity to support economic development."

It is absolutely imperative that Canadians take the responsibility to do everything they can to protect all of the species of wildlife in this country. Especially the endangered species who make up an extremely important part of the balance of a healthy ecosystem.

I thinking protecting more areas for conservation to support the species at risk is important. I am not sure about listing practices or regulations, I just know we have to protect the wildlife we have now as we as humans have played a big part in pushing animals to the brink of extinctiomn..

I would like there to be stricter laws regarding environmental protection of endangered species within Canada. In habitats with endangered flora and fauna species, a company should not be possible to destroy the important habitat for a construction project while providing financial "compensation".

A terrible proposal. Species at risk deserve absolute protection, with no loopholes. This act will send our conservation progress back in time and put our ecosystems more at risk than they already are.
Any amendments to the ESA must support its purpose of protecting and recovering at-risk species. To that end, I urge MECP to:
- Repeal the 2013 exemptions for the forestry, hydro, mining and development industries;

I want a prioritization on conserving species at risk and the habitats they depend on through improved implementation of the Endangered Species Act in its current form.

I wish to echo the concerns raised by the WWF:
* Changes to the Endangered Species Act should improve protections, not water them down even further.

The Provincial Government needs to demonstrate leadership by improving the Endangered Species Act rather than making concessions. Species-at-risk habitat shouldn’t be open for business!

I would like strong protection for Species at Risk in Ontario, which means a prioritization on conserving species at risk and the habitats they depend on through improved implementation of the Endangered Species Act in its current form.

Ontario’s Endangered Species Act is the single best law protecting nature in North America. It’s expensive to uphold, but the practices it forces us to do are necessary for our very survival as a species. Any damage to this Act is criminal and a direct assault upon Ontario’s citizens.

Protect Ontario’s Endangered Species Act. Protect Wildlife. Our economy will benefit by clear regulations, swift responses and improved communications, not by delays and exemptions in applying the Ontario Endangered Species Act, which is a critical backstop against extinction.
It is no exaggeration to state that the decisions we make now about how we relate to the natural environment - of which, naturally, we are a part - are absolutely a matter of life or death, for ourselves as much as for the other species that we endanger.
