This is both reckless and inhumane. What you are proposing would put endangered creatures at risk and I do NOT support that. Please reconsider this action and take into account all that is involved. In the end, we need to realize we can eat or breath money – nature is far more important!
We shouldn't change the existing law, we are at a crucial moment where any minor change to our environment could end up with catastrophic consequences. By removing spaces where all these animals can leave, we are just displacing them and changing their ways.

I am totally against the new proposed policy changes. I dont agree with cresying a regulatory charge. Nonine should be anle to buy their way around a law or policy. Im also ahai st extending or granting the Minister's authority to override the results of scientific reports.

Absolutely ridiculous and unforgivable course of action if this happens! I have always been a firm supporter of the conservatives but if this is allowed to happen you have lost my future votes for sure!

The allowing of proponents to pay fees rather than perform actual measures to ensure there are no impacts on species at risk is entirely contrary to the purpose of this legislation and the needs of Ontarians.

This reads like a poorly veiled attempt at watering down the protections of endangered species for the convenience of developers, and a shortsighted mortgaging of our future.

The Ontario government should not allow companies to pay to destroy the habitats of endangered species, whether through mining, deforestation, urbanization, or any unsustainable activity.

I am very concerned about proposed changes to ESA. It seems to me that the main theme of the changes is that Ontario government wants to give too much decision making responsibility to the minister.

Species risk determinations and the means of protection should decided by qualified scientists using empirical evidence. Their work should meet highest standards of scientific study.

Good morning. I would like to draw attention to a logistical problem with the proposal pertaining to exemptions. See my comments below.

We need to fight for those who cannot fight for themselves. Our wildlife is an integral part of who we are as a country. It needs to be protected at all costs.
