As an Ontarian I want my children and their children to live in an Ontario where wild animals have a habitat and we don't sell endangered species' habitat to developers as long as they pay an additional price.
Our laws and our forests shouldn't be for sale
These proposed changes are unacceptable. As a society, it is time that environmental issues are taken seriously, that habitat destruction is taken seriously.

I don’t want to further harm what we have here in Canada for that quick dollar. No business is worth our environment and that is what all of this seems to boil down to.
I do not support the changes, specifically around the changes increasing the length if time a species must be added to the list (3 months to 12 months), and around considering the distribution of the species and not adding it to the lsit of it exists outside of the province.
Another step backwards by are our present government. Time to get out there with your votes and get Ford out. Anyone who doesn’t understand the basic needs of people or our environment should never have the power to make decisions over it.

Our animals are one of the most important things we have in this world. We need them and what they bring to the table, trashing the endangered species act which we’ve worked so hard to protect would be a waste of all our previous efforts, not to mention on of the biggest mistakes we will regret.

These revisions give too much power and oversight to the Minister. It does not go far enough to protect species. It leaves room for exploitation of resources. Ontario species and land is not open for business.
The changes proposed to the Endangered Species Act seems to be one based on greed. By making these changes won't it just line the pockets of developers, and governments?

To the Ford Government,
Please reconsider the cuts to the endangered species act. These animal species were here long before us and the corporations that threaten to destroy their habitats.

Species at Risk and the environment need to be protected. Opening sensitive environments to business is a short term solution to making money and driving industry.

The proposed changes to the ESA are irresponsible, and irreparable. Just because a species is rare in Ontario because it is at it's northern limit or is found elsewhere does not justify removing protection. Don't be so stupid and shortsighted.

I vehemently oppose the move to reduce any protection of endangered species. You have a province full of outdoorsmen, why would this even be put on the table? I did not vote for this, I do not respect this decision.

I strongly oppose the changes that are being considered. They will not improve outcomes for species at risk. They will make it easier for industry and developers to destroy habitats of the most vulnerable.

I think the changes that the provincial government are proposing are unacceptable, including the fact that habitat of species at risk will no longer be guaranteed protection.

Weakening the Endangered Species Act is unconscionable! It sends the wrong message about the urgency of mitigating climate change and species diversity free-fall!
