We strongly object to the gutting of the Endangered Species ACT for any reason but particularly to enable more urbanization of natural spaces. There is lots of land that can be used for housing that does not intrude on our wonderful wildlife.

This government has shown in more ways than one that it does not care about the environment or endangered species and in doing so does not care about Ontario.

Many species are declining across the world and in Canada. The province of Ontario is not immune to these declines; there are currently more than 200 species at risk (SAR) in the province. The main purpose of the ESA should be to protect species, *not to expedite development*!

I am very disturbed by proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act. The science-based recommendations about endangered species and what must be done to protect them should not be overruled by the short-term thinking of any Minister.

I'm really concerned that changes to the Endangered Species Act will move us backwards rather than forwards. Scientists have been sounding the alarm over the loss of species in Ontario and around the world for quite some time now.

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act. I am deeply saddened and strongly opposed to the proposed changes to the Act.

I am not in agreement with the Proposed Changes to the Endangered Species Act. We need to protect our environment for endangered species. Not just animals and insects will be affected. Our very life as humans depends on it.

It is clear that climate change, industry and urban expansion are taking an extreme toll
on the survival of wildlife species. It is a crisis and we must do all we can to help ensure wildlife's surivial.

I do not support the changes to the endangered species act as proposed. we need to increase protections not make it easier to destroy habitat.
My family and I are asking you to:
- Prioritize the recovery of at-risk species over the demands of developers.

My uncle was a Senior Advisor in the Ministry of Environment and passed away suddenly while still employed by the MOE in 2008. It is very sad that he passed away, but I am glad that he didn't live to see these proposed changes which severely erode the substance of the Endangered Species Act.

The current proposed changes to the Ontario Endangered Species Act weaken the protection for Ontario species at risk (SAR), the opposite of the Act’s intent.

I support the aspects of this proposal that are tied to consultation with scientific and Indigenous communities, and a focus on evidence based decision making.
