It is absolutely abhorrent that hunting and culling are allowed in this day and age with all the data available including the loss of species every day in Canada. Animals need more protections not less.

My major concern, with any of ‘streamlined processes’ is that loop-holes will be created so that big business can get their way. Nothing that this new provincial government does, it ‘for the people’. It’s definitely not for the animals. It’s for big business.

There is nothing more important to Ontarians and indeed Canadians right now than environmental protection and action.

This revision to the Endangered Species Act endangers us all. Climate change is happening at a faster rate than predicted and animals are bearing the worst of it. This is not conservative or Conservative.

It is neccisarry to matain biodiversity for the continuing health and wellbeing of everyone that lives in Ontario. Taking protections ways from theses species is short sighted and harmful to our long term biodiversity.

We as a province should 100% the conservation of sensitive species over “economic development” once lost these species can never be brought back and we are at risk of losing them forever without future generations ever being able to know them.

Proposed amendments to the ESA are all about weakening the requirements and protections that are currently in place. Again, Ford shows his disdain for any "environmental regulation" that may be seen as an impediment to his developer and business cronies.

Business interests should have no impact on protections or the removal of protections on endangered species. As artificial constructs that exist at the whim of humans it is the businesses who need to adapt not the species/environment.
What is the purpose of this? Endangered species should continue being protected! This is another asinine idea by this premier. “Fixing”things that don’t need fixing. Stop trying to pillage everything in sight.
This isn't Ford's environment. It isn't his cronies' environment. Conservation isn't simply a set of rules that should be waived in the service of rapacious development/despoilment.

Our Group is very concerned that your review will result an easing of the restrictions pertaining to endangered species that currently apply to licensing of aggregate pits and quarries in Ontario on lands that are often inhabited by species at risk.

I support increasing the strength and protections embedded within the endangered species act. Of the myriad threats to Ontario's species, the two that concern me most are : economic development impinging into natural spaces, and the pressure rapid climate change is having on ecosystems.

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.

An update of the Endangered Species Act should focus on improving our methods of protection for Ontario's species at risk. However, this proposal also aims to streamline the ESA for 'ecomnomic development'.

We need to protect the environment. The safeguards in place should be upheld in order to preserve animal species and habitats. I fundamentally oppose any language that will remove these protections.
I support the following approaches re: the four aspects under review:
1. Landscape Approaches
Take actions that contribute to improving habitat and protecting species from harm.
