Please stop this foolish exploitation of Canada. My children need our water, the wetlands that filter it, the wildlife that resides in it. The peace the trails bring. We see what Canada is turning into, and if we wanted to live in the USA, we would have moved there! Read more

I, and members of our community association, are most concerned about turtles. Our community association, the Friends of Kingston Inner Harbour, (www.friendsofinnerharbour) has been protecting turtle nests from predation for the last three seasons. Wetland habitat conservation is critical! Read more

The Ontario Endangered Species Act is a last line of defence against extinction in an era that scientists have termed the sixth mass extinction on the planet. Canada’s wildlife depends on innovative regulations, policies, and programs that make conservation of species at risk the primary goal. Read more

I am greatly concerned that the discussion paper issued by the government of Ontario will not provide greater protection for species at risk, but will simply make it easier for industry and developers to destroy the habitat for species at risk. Read more

Government for the people are you really making changes for the better of endangered species or are you removing and/or eliminating their protection? Government for the people keep your mitts off the endangered species and let them live peacefully. Read more

I am very familiar with the private sector (I work in it), and I can tell you with 100% certainty the last thing we need is for the process to be more "streamlined" and to make it even easier for developers to remove SAR habitat. Read more

I don’t think It is fare or wise to change this act in order to appease business owners or open up more area to be pillaged by private business that will only be paying workers 14 dollars an hour while the higher ups destroy the environment for profit. Read more

Strengthening the Endangered Species Act is paramount for the protection of animals. We are a part of nature, which includes all animals and also plant life. Loss of habitat is one of the primary reasons for species decline and eventually total loss. This is not necessary. Read more

I am dismayed this review and suggested amendments focus on changes to the ESA that are: 1. intended to promote industrial and development activities that will further harm the habitats of species already found to be at risk and result in increases to that list Read more

As it stands, development has already been given priority over environmental considerations and protection. We have always had development encroach on ESAs, greenspace, and fill in wetlands in non designated areas. Read more

Once threatened species are gone, they are gone. No amount of business growth is worth that loss. We must protect the habitat of wildlife! Instead of expanding into their space, FIND ANOTHER WAY. Take the time to find a new way to do business.
