• The forest sector requires a permanent solution to the ESA
• This can be best accomplished through a long term (permanent) section 55 Regulatory Exemption

I do not support the section 18 ‘harmonization option’ as a solution for the forest sector – it does not effectively deal with the socio-economic risks posed to the sector by the ESA.
Once species are gone, there is no way to recover them. As an Ontario citizen, I am extremely concerned about this legislation. We cannot afford to decrease biodiversity in Ontario. Our future prosperity, and even continued existence, depends on a healthy, diverse biosphere.

The Ford governments attempt to pass this bill is a dangerous, irresponsible and disgusting. Ontarians do not support this bill. You are putting endangered species and their habitats at risk in the name of profit.

Dear Minister
The changes to the Endangered Species Act proposed in omnibus Bill 108, the More Homes, More Choice Act would wholly vitiate an Act carefully constructed and followed over many, many years, by Ontario governments formed by all major political parties.

I have ten concerns with the amendments. Please see the link below from Ontario Nature Magazine:
1. "Pay to slay"
2. Rejecting science
3. Limiting protections
4. Deserting "Edge of Range" species
5. Sweeping authorizations for harmful activities
6. Dodging requirements

I am really distressed by the proposed changes. It appears to me that should business and industry be able to indicate that protection of the species would cause problems for the industry, industry concerns will prevail. I am totally opposed to the proposed changes.
I am extremely concerned about the proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act.
1) The committee reviewing endangered species must be comprised of scientists, not community members who may have political loyalties and will not have the knowledge or desire to protect species.

At this time of elevated knowledge of climate change and how it is affecting all endangered species, it is time to step up our protection of these species, not downgrade it.

Please don't allow this amendment to pass. We as Canadians have to take a stand for all creatures and this is NOT the way to do so. We should be protecting all of our endangered species. If that means that companies are forced to protect the areas they're developing in, so be it.

Recognize equivalency between the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and Crown Forest Sustainability Act through a permanent section 55 regulation or legislative change to the ESA.

PLEASE do not enact ANY of these proposals!!
Each of these proposals turns the clock back on wildlife preservation in very harmful ways and will open the door for all species to be wiped out in Southern ON.
This Act needs to be enforced and strengthened, not weakened as all these proposals do.

Please help ensure nature remains safe and protected for our diverse species. They shouldn't have to run the risk of becoming extinct to appease our idiotic premier whose priorities are exploitation above anything.
I agree 100% with all of the proposed 10th year review of the endangered species act:
1- I support: assessment of species at risk and listing of species at risk in On list: support earlier notice by COSSARO - stakeholders need time to gather research and info . Extension of 3 to 12 months.

I strongly support a long-term Section 55 Regulatory Exemption for the forest sector which recognizes the Crown Forest Sustainability Act (CFSA) as an equivalent process to the Endangered Species Act (ESA).

When you’re in a mass extinction event – one of the highest rates of extinction since the dinosaurs where wiped out 65 million years ago by an asteroid – it’s not wise to push more species towards and over the brink. If only for self-interested reasons.
