Hello,
As a conservation professional employed by a national non-profit that works with at-risk species, I am disappointed in the proposed changes to Ontario's Endangered Species Act.
Regarding the proposed changes to assessing and listing species at risk:

I do not support the proposed changes where the Minister alone has discretionary powers to agree, change or suspend any protections to Endangered Species classifucation or protection. No one government official should have that much power, ever.

“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.

As a third generation bush worker I have a great attachment to the forest and all it holds. Not only do I work in the forest but I also like to spend time on Ontario ‘s crown lands fishing and hunting, accessed by the network of roads logging creates.

I am deeply concerned by the proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act. I care about the future of endangered creatures in Ontario and I believe we should be doing our part to protect them and support their recovery. I urge you to change course and do the following:

This is unacceptable. As a citizen of Ontario, the Provincial Government must declare a climate state of emergency. Reverse these decisions. This is not in the best interest of the people of Ontario.
It's absolutely disgusting that the Ford 'government' is trying to alter the Endangered Species act quietly, in the back pages of Bill 108 and the 'More Homes More Choice Act'.

We need to protect and rescue more species of plants and animals not less. The fact that there numbers are diminishing is a direct indication of the health of this planet and our (Ontarians) environment. I am not only disappointed but disgusted with these changes and ashamed of this government.

This proposal weakens laws, contradicts the current ERO to protect nine at risk species, and makes it easier for developers. Please strengthen not weaken, the Ontario Endangered Species ACT.
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).

Dont make it easier for developers to build on natural habitats! Let's protect the environment for many years to come, not line somebody's pockets and destroy open land. Once its developed it is virtually guaranteed to stay that way. Stop the development and protect our greenspace. Thank you
I know you are seeking to find efficiencies and to stimulate the economy. I know you are proceeding in a way which you believe to be best to achieve those goals. But I believe you are wrong and acting irresponsibly.
