My reactions to the discussion paper are mixed. I agree that the Endangered Species Act (ESA) could be improved; I do NOT in any way support changes to the ESA or its administration that result in reduced protection for Species at Risk (SAR). Read more

The landscape approach should be used. Wildlife does not respond well to habitat alterations or destruction. As the intelligent species we should be doing everything we can to ensure that specific habitat types all across the province are protected and we should plan accordingly. Read more

The 'almighty' dollar need NOT be the primary driving force in making decisions. We need to think about the future of our environment, not just business. Business won't keep the earth healthy, it will only help line some pockets. Read more

I am taking the position that the government is interested in consulting on this matter in good faith for the benefit of our democratic ideals (See Arnstein’s Ladder of Degrees of Citizen Participation (1969). Read more

The farmers plant their crops at the beginning of the cycle. The crops harvest the sun’s energy, are then harvested by us and the cycle is renewed. We have been comfortable with this since the beginning of agriculture thousands of years ago. Read more

Just protect species. We need to not go backwards or even maintain the status quo for if we do we will be left behind. Encourage investment and innovation but not at the risk of species. Once the damage is done it is more costly and difficult to reverse. Protection above all else. Read more
