To whom it may concern,
Just want to express my outrage learning that Ontario want to exempt the logging industry from Ontario's Endangererd Species at Risk Act. This is unacceptable as it puts our Caribou and the Boreal Forrest at huge risk. Please stop this disaster before it's too late.

It is my strong conviction that it is morally and fundamentally unacceptable for our elected provincial government to exempt the logging industry from rules that protect the caribou and the boreal forest.

Please protect our caribou and other wildlife. Natural ecosystems are vital to our existence. The more we devalue them and put corporate profit desires above well being of our environment as a whole, the more problems we cause.

I support the extension of the section 55ESA Reg, I believe this will uphold sustainable forest management practices, which will result in optimizing balance in environment, social and economic goals and objectives.

I think your idea to allow the logging industry to circumvent the laws to protect the caribou and the boreal forest is ridiculous and pathetic. These animals and this forest must be protected from logging at all costs.

The government of Ontario wants to exempt the logging industry from Ontario’s Endangered Species at Risk Act until at least 2020.
Please, do not enact these exemptions. If these are approved, the already threatened caribou is at risk of losing the vast expanses of forest they need to survive.

I am writing this comment to provide support to the proposal that was posted on the Environmental Registry to Extend the Endangered Species Act Section 55 Regulation for Forestry. In my opinion if implemented, the Act presents a serious risk of inadvertent consequences.

At no other time in history have we been losing spicies as quickly as we are now. Where endangered animals are involved, no exemptions should be permitted for any industry. Please do not exempt the logging industry from Ontario’s Endangered Species at Risk Act until at least 2020.

It is absolutely unacceptable for any Canadian government to exempt any industry (including the logging industry) from rules that protect the caribou and the boreal forest. In fact, that should be standard operating procedure when confronting any environmental rule.

I was born and raised in Thunder Bay, Ontario. It is a great city to live in and raise a family but in the last two decades the city has suffered. This was largely due to the fact that this was a pulp and paper city and Northwestern Ontario was a pulp and paper region.
