I am categorically opposed to your proposal to double the amount of industrial logging in Ontario. This proposal completely ignores our biodiversity commitments, including safeguarding the habitat of imperilled species, such as boreal caribou.

Not even a whisper about climate change. A narrow fiscal view of the boreal forest is precisely what Ontario, Canada, and planet Earth do not need right now. Half of that forest is now gone. It needs to be replaced before even thinking about expanding its further destruction.

No, I do not support the proposal outlined. Look at our climate and the environmental impact the decades of industry and forrestry have caused. We have significant disease and parasites in our trees. Leeds Grenville is losing a huge number of ash trees due to the ash borer.

We need to maintain existing forests without disruption to preserve all life. Future generations depend on our conservation efforts today! Life is more important than supporting big corporations.
It is great to see a government taking the lead for forestry. Should include reduced red tape. Faster approval process for harvest and water crossings. Private land forestry could be encouraged by more use of Managed Forest Tax Improvement Plans and the use of that program.

Your proposal states that increasing logging limits, perhaps by as much as 60% (as stated), will continue to provide a sustainable forest. Perhaps so, but is this at the expense of a sustainable eco-system? What about the effect of our forests as a buffer against climate disaster?

Your strategy must be a commitment to protect biodiversity.
Unfortunately, the proposed Ontario Forest Sector Strategy does not implement limits on habitat loss to protect and recover species at risk.

Throughout the province, Ontarians, including me, have been coming out in droves to demand climate action and real and sustainable change from business-as-usual industrial practices.
