It’s unacceptable to exempt the logging industry from rules that protect the caribou and the boreal forest. The already threatened caribou is at risk of losing the large expanses of forest they need to survive. I urge you to make caribou protection a priority. [Original Comment ID: 212728]

As a Canadian citizen I do not think it wise to exempt the logging industry from Ontario’s Endangered Species at Risk Act. There should be not exemptions for the logging or any other industry. [Original Comment ID: 212730]

Not only endangered species, but all species and their habitats should be considered when creating policies which will affect their future. This country is one of few left on the planet that can still protect the wildlife it is blessed to have. Read more

I am writing to provide my support for the proposal posted on the Environmental Registry on January 26, 2018 to extend the Endangered Species Act (ESA) Section 55 Regulation for Forestry. For the past decade, the implementation of the ESA for forestry has been a difficult issue for Ontario. Read more

Please do not exempt the logging industry from this Species at Risk Act for another day, let alone until 2020. The trees will most likely survive the next two years, but the caribou herds will definitely suffer losses that will make their demise inevitable in that time. Do the right thing. Read more

I want to state that I support the extension to the Section 55 ESA Regulation. However, a 2 year extension period is ‎too short. Read more

The exemption of the logging industry from the Endangered Species at Risk act is an egregious attempt at eliminating the impact and effectiveness of this legislation towards the protection of caribou herds and the valuable forest ecosystem that sustains them. Read more
