All species are important to our environment. We know through research that a change in our biodiversity can have very adverse affects on our planet. This is a short sighted proposal that seems to have more to do with individuals making money than it does with our animal population.
I think the current Ontario Government is putting the wants and desires of builders and developers ahead of its’ responsibility to protect and preserve our wildlife species.

I ask that the government not support the proposed changes. The impact could be too great. I support a government that values the environment, healthcare and education.
I do not agree with this proposal and do not want it passed. I look forward to the end of Fords term and if this is passed it will be another strike against his political career.
I am shocked and angered by the proposal to both politicize the Endangered Species Act and to allow perpetrators to buy their way out of habitat destruction. This is widely known to be a terrible and backwards idea such that it simply becomes an operating cost for development.

Why is the gouvernement retreating from species conservancy...please dont let this go through...I do not want to explain to my son why our gouverment let these species go for money...we need to protect locale species at risk!!!
Over 230 species in Ontario are currently at risk. Habitat loss and destruction are the major reasons of decline. Now is the time to strengthen protections for wildlife, especially those already at risk before it is too late.

I do NOT support ANY change that further reduces the protection of any species, and especially those considered endangered or otherwise at risk. In this time of great climate change, we all ought to be working to protect the diversity that we all benefit from and depend on.
Obviously this is a sop to industry and ridiculous proposal on the face of it, the sort of thing that the Tory government will propose simply out of a desire to be destructive and for no other reason.

Why is it that this Government isn't able to find the real issues associated with getting business done in this province such as manufacturing regulations.

The laws put in place to protect the environment and her creatures need to be “forever laws” and not ever be at the mercy of any one person’s whims. That way we can actually move forward and make a real difference.

We need to be taking care of our endangered species and the environment above all else! Its completely insane to think otherwise. The people want our plantet to be healthy. Please stop the greed that is destroying our world behond repair.
I am entirely opposed to the proposed changes to the ESA. Human activity has already degraded much of the natural environment that other species, not just threatened or endangered ones, depend on. Protection for species at risk must be enhanced not sold to whomever can afford to pay the fee.

RE: Forest Sector Requires Permanent Regulation Followed by Workable Species at Risk Policy after 10th Year Review of the Endangered Species Act
Read more
This legislation must NOT pass. Endangered species must be protected, not seen as an inconvenience that can be gotten rid of by paying a nominal fee. Shame on everyone who came up with this pathetic excuse for protecting endangered species.
