Do not deregulate this act. The short term monetary gain is not worth the long term ecological damage that deregulation will cause. The ecological integrity of this province is part of what makes it great. Do not pander to corporate interests at the expense of future generations.

1. I have strong concerns with how COSSARO as it is misusing this Act. They are listing anything they want without a proper and proven factual science to back their theory for example the "Algonquin Hybrid coy-wolf" This hybrid coyote/wolf/dog which has NO proven DNA is not a species at risk.
