I very strongly disagree with your ministry’s proposal to allow aggregate pits and quarries in the habitat of threatened and endangered species throughout the region’s Natural Heritage System.Under existing rules, aggregates operations can already occur elsewhere in the Natural Heritage System, but Read more

I find the proposal put forth a disgusting show of corporate greed valuing profit over the good of our nation. If environmental rights and the protection of vulnerable and endangered species ignored it will only further destroy Canada's natural beauty and biodiversity. Read more
