This deal does nothing to enhance the protection of endangered species. Instead, it provides opportunities for the government to ignore environmental concerns in favour of unacceptable land development. We are currently facing a major reduction in biomass, specifically within insect populations.

On behalf of Lecours Lumber Co. Limited thank you for the opportunity to comment on the 10th Year Review of Ontario’s Endangered Species Act: Proposed changes, ERO number 013-5033.

I believe that these changes for the ESA have potential to go in the wrong direction. With Canada already having a large majority of herpetofauna as species at risk, i suggest that these changes be revised, as this may impact endangered species to a point where extirpation may occur.

This act needs to be robust and accurately outline the protection of land that is needed in order to protect these species. The province has a duty to protect these species for future generations of Ontarians.

“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).

Ontario should expand the plan on protecting endangered species rather than walking away from the plan. Please reconsider on abandoning all those years of efforts put into caring for species at risk and continue to protect those that fought strong to go against extinction.

PLEASE REMOVE THE ENTIRETY OF SCHEDULE 5 FROM BILL 108, BECAUSE:
- The changes would remove essential legal protections for species at risk and for the habitats that sustain them.

Continue to Ask for Permanent Recognition of the CFSA as an Equivalent Process to ESA by Adopting a Section 55 Regulation into the ESA; Response to ERO Number 013-5033
I am absolutely against some of the changes to this Act, including giving infrastructure developers the option to pay a charge in lieu of completing certain on-the-ground activities required by the act.

Please, please, please hold the line on endangered species. I have just heard call of a Whippoorwill at night beside the meadow. They are endangered. I never heard one before, only read about them. We have lost so many species as the researchers confirm, so many plants, animals and birds.

These proposals are myopic and encourage overdevelopment of environmental zones that will have long term and far reaching implications on species diversity and survival in Ontario.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on the above noted Environmental Registry of Ontario posting. The following comments are provided by Region of Peel staff as input to the Ministry to consider regarding the proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act.

I find virtually every proposed change to be detrimental to the existing Endangered Species Act:-
- extended timelines for everything,
- increased ministerial discretion,
- buying your way out of compliance.
I don't see any proposed changes that actually enhance the ESA.
