This is a horrendous breach of Canada’s commitment to protect our nature and wilderness. I’m calling this Bill and any plans go remove protections for natural spaces to be stopped immediately.
This proposal to enable the SCA will only further undermine progress on the Ontario Biodiversity Strategy and further imperil our most vulnerable species.
• The SCA is inadequate for managing species at risk in the midst of a biodiversity crisis, specifically due to:

I live on a VERY eco-sensitive alvar - the loggerhead shrike is only the first 'famous' victim - but there are too many more to mention that this impacts directly. Do the right thing.
I am writing to express my disagreement with the proposed legislative and regulatory amendments intended to enable the Species Conservation Act, 2025.

The ESA is the only real thing with teeth to protect the 106 species that will be endangered by this legislation. This is irresponsible of the Ford government and will endanger living things all over. Constituents are watching.

Scrapping these protections is the same as killing the species.
Without the species in the environment, the land and surround gets messed up. (Like a missing piece of a puzzle, okay?)

the species that we've already made so weak with our exploitation of the environment should not be weakened any further for the potential of temporary short term profits that this bill is in the interest of.

The proposed changes allow for loopholes that can negatively impact species-at-risk habitats. The environment is a giant weave and species-at-risk make up some of the many strands.

I grew up in part on a farm in Campbellville, Ontario. During my childhood our barn rafters were covered in barn swallow nests, stacked one beside the other, with chicks visible and squeaking when their parents arrived with food for them.

We need to do more to protect our land and species at risk!! The Ont government should be making this a priority! This is important for our health and for that of future generations.
Please amend this Bill.

I already wrote to my MPP about this dangerous relaxing of protections for at-risk and endangered species and received a reply that was completely ignorant of the content of the Bill.

Protecting birds, their habitat and migration routes is important to the health, wellbeing and prosperity of Ontarians. Putting economic development ahead of our natural world is shortsighted. Developers will not prioritize the environment. Do not weaken the environmental protections.
We need to protect our birds. I want to see our government do more to protect habitats including wetlands, forests and grasslands. As a physician working in Ontario, I see the direct impact of loss of ecosystems and natural areas to our physical and mental health.
I fail to see any environmental safeguards for these species at risk, only the removal of those in place. Id say it was unbelievable but this government's abyssmal environmental track record doesn't allow me that.

I oppose this bill. Our natural environment is our economy. Destroying parts it under the guise of supporting the long-term strength and security of the province and its economy is incredibly short sighted and a dangerous way of thinking.

I do not believe that the government should be putting economic growth before ecological integrity. Canada has some of the most endangered ecosystems across the globe, and its citizens want to see them protected.
