I am in full support of the extension of Section 55 ESA Regulation to a 5 year period instead of 2 years. By providing a longer timeline all stakeholders have the ability to develop, review, implement, and adapt to changes in policies and procedures.

I strongly support the extention of section 55ESA as a step in the right direction. As we all know 2 years goes by very fast so 5 years would make a lot more sense. We also need to establish a panel of the folks that will be effected the most in the future.

We need to protect the environment and that means all life that is part of it. Yes, that includes us but not to the detriment of other species.

I am a long time logger and contractor who employs several people in the forestry business. I have been made aware that new environmental proposals could have a very serious impact on our livelihoods in Northwestern Ontario.
