Our endangered species are not for sale! When will the blatant disregard for nature and our world end? Can our government reps not see the damage being done? Please act responsibly for our future of the world , as we elected you to do! Thank you!
The abandonment of environmental procedures reflected in these changes worries me greatly. The idea of allowing a species to die off in one area simply because you can find an analogous population elsewhere is ridiculous as animals adapt individual traits and speciate locally to become unique.

Endangered species are called that for the reason that they are in danger. To allow them to be killed for money is an atrocity that should be punishable by the laws set up to protect them. The government in power shouldn’t have the right to put them in danger of being extinct.

In relation to proposed changes in the Endangered Specied Act R.F.O 2007 and ERO # 013-5033. I live in Northwestern Ontario and completely disagree with these changes. The protection of endangered species and all habitat in this area is of the utmost importance.

I imagine you are trying to lessen "red tape" for industry, without jeopardizing species at risk. But you can't have it both ways. The result of the proposed changes is a weakening of protections that are vital to the survival of species at risk in Ontario.

When the last fish is caught we will realise we can't eat money. Said by those much wiser than me. Increasing the GDP but cease to be the measure of a good life, how about quality of life, time in nature and time with loved ones simply enjoying what we have.
I don't think we should be changing the laws and protextions in place for our endangered wildlife. Biodiversity is so important for maintaining healthy ecosystems! We should be doing more to protect nature!
I am opposed to the changes in this bill for a number of reasons. The suggestions are frightening and not supportive of wildlife or habitat but seem to focus on business and money. Also too much power given to the position of minister.
I don’t see any firm action that is specified that all species and their habitats are guaranteed protected. All the is said is “monitored” and your language is very ambiguous. STOP tearing down habitats, forests, and land. Put an end to animal and habitat killing.

My wife and I have comments which are provided for each numbered part of the proposal. I hope you actually read and consider them because we spent quite a while thinking about the issue. It is very important.
1. Assessing species at risk and listing them on the Species at Risk in Ontario List

I cannot believe that an government ministry that has the mandate to protect the environment for all the living species would come up with new legislation to essentially do away with the endangered species act. All the proposed changes do not protect any living species.

The changes the Ontario Government have been making to conservatipn efforts are short sighted and immensely harmful. The impacts of which will be felt for generations to come. We have a responsibility to protect all native species.

This government's slash and burn approach to legislation is deeply concerning. Being "open for business" shouldn't come at the cost of our environment. The Premier would do well to remember that our province extends far beyond the GTA.

I think that the proposed elimination of the the endangered species act is completly disgusting and will have HUGE negative implications on our environment and the welfare of the future of species on our planet and even our children.

Loosening the Act only hurts Ontarians more. The interests based solely on profits to be gained at the expense of the health of our citizens, the health of our ecosystems, the health, wealth and opportunity of future generations to enjoy Ontario, is not worth the money to bw gained.
