Reliable studies for years have shown songbird species declining-why would we choose to make this decline more likely to continue? Many Ontario tourist sites are linked to birdwatching, if only economic motivations are heard by this government.

Why on earth does this provincial government seem to be hell-bent on despoiling, endangering or destroying as much natural heritage as it can possibly get away with? At risk species of birds must be protected so they don't become extinct!

All these changes suck. Birds over development. At risk birds will be pushed to extinction through this terrible greed. Horrifying, blatent corruption.
I am writing to express my STRONG opposition to the proposed regulatory changes under the Species Conservation Act (SCA), in particular the removal of 106 currently listed endangered and threatened species from protection, as well as the weakening of multiple environmental safeguards.

The Province must not remove species at risk that are on the Federal list. We must do everything we can and make the laws mandatory, not voluntary, to protect our wildlife. Voluntary laws have no consequence and are meaningless.

As a resident of Ontario, I am vehemently opposed to this initiative. Removing species protections that were put in place based on rigorous scientific research and monitoring is a detriment not only to birds, but to people and the environment as a whole.

I am very concerned with this proposal. I would like to echo the concerns from environmental organizations, as I feel the same but they have written them better. Please consider the linked letter.

Hello
I am deeply concerned about this proposal. I echo the linked letter from environmental organizations and urge Ontario to make their suggested changes.

Habitat protections for all species need to be expanded well beyond the dwelling place and immediate surroundings. Many species have territories they need to live within to get food, find mates etc.

This plan is catastrophic.
Please stop putting birds (and all of our wildlife in Ontario) at risk!
Our lives, ecosystems, and Province need our birds!!!
Protections have been installed for the sustainable wellbeing of our future.

This is another irresponsible effort which puts the environment at risk. How can we stress enough that whether the economy (and Minister Fords cronies) are profitable or not, we LIVE IN OUR ENVIRONMENT AND DEPEND ON IT TO SUSTAIN OUR OWN LIVES. Each species supports the ones around it.

My comments with respect on the proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act (ESA) 2007
I very strongly oppose any changes to the ESA at this time.

I am deeply concerned about the weakening of protections for Ontario’s at-risk species under Bill 5 and the proposed Species Conservation Act.

Bill 5 is one of the worst omnibus bills in present day. As our natural resources continue to be exploited, ridiculous tunnels continue to be built, and biodiversity is being lost at astounding rates, this act pushes us in the exact opposite direction of what we should be moving towards.
