Why is profit so much more important than preserving our public lands and destroying habitats of the animals which also share our land? This Ford Government is not thinking of the greater good, it is short sightedness and total disregard for nature.

The forest sector requires a permanent section 55 regulation that recognizes the Crown Forest Sustainability Act as an equivalent process to the Endangered Species Act. I do not support the proposed section 18 “harmonization” option for the forest sector.
I do not agree with the proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act. If anything, I believe the Act should be STRENGTHENED in order to protect the biodiversity of our natural environment. A good majority of this is due to loss of habitat due to our insistence on urban sprawl.

Ontario wildlife is going to come under increasing threat from climate change in the next few years, which means that more species will be endangered. Can they all be driven toward extinction with a 'pay to proceed' provision?

As you know, more than 230 species in Ontario are currently at risk. Habitat loss and degradation are the major drivers of decline. That is why it’s more important than ever to strengthen protections for wildlife, especially those already at risk.

We do not support the proposed section 18 "harmonization" option for the forest sector. We require a permanent section 55 regulation that recognizes the Crown Forest Sustainability Act as an equivalent process to the Endangered Species Act.

After reading about the proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act, I am disheartened that the Ontario government seems to view our land as nothing more than a commodity, and the animals within it as disposable.

This is a blatant disregard for life on the planet...that the continued ruthless exploitation of habitat of species at risk will be permitted simply to enrich developers and farmers is mind boggling.

This is a stupid idea, unethical, murderous, and will only result in the destruction of anything that makes Ontario and place to visit. Canada is known for its wildlife and multitudes of ecosystems.

Ontario currently has strong protections for endangered species - something that we should be both proud of and uphold to ensure future generations are still able to experience biodiversity as we do.

Environmental regulations need to be TIGHTENED, not loosened. Shame on you.
NO ONE should be able to buy their way out of regulations designed to protect at risk species.

2A. You MUST keep species at risk assessment as a science-based process.
2D. Continue having the LGIC make species-specific habitat regulations

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the proposed changes to the ESA. I strongly oppose the changes that are being considered. They will not improve outcomes for species at risk.
