As more pressure is put on species in Ontario as a whole, it is unconscionable that those species already at risk are threatened further by watering down the Species At Risk legislation.

the wildlife of Ontario is very important to me and anything that makes loss of habitat through building or climate change needs to be considered very carefully. please ensure that future generations have the same chance to enjoy our wildlife as past generations have had.
Please
• Focus on habitat-protection measures that are effective for the listed species and that simultaneously improve outcomes for multiple species at risk.

I am in support of the Endangered Species Act 2007 (ESA) and object to any attempt by the Ford government to weaken this act through ERO #013-4143). Ford only cares about making it easier for his developer cronies to steal and develop our protected and critical green spaces.

To have species at risk of extinction and to protect them would be phenomenal. I would agree to better protections for these species at risk and would like to see a change and movement through the government.
Don't sell out on future generations who would love to experience and enjoy wildlife and nature. Economic gains can happen without destroying the earth. Make moral and informed decisions for the future development of the earth.

It should be of the utmost importance at this crossroads for a responsible government to protect the environment - not to do so is foolhardy and will endanger future generations. We need to these issues to be dealt with today and not always pushed off into the future.

I am extremely concerned about the references to providing 'clarity to support economic development' and the Act being criticized for 'creating barriers to economic development'.

Any update of the Endangered Species Act should improve protections, not reduce them under the guise of efficiency. This review won’t help species at risk if it doesn’t address exemptions that make it too easy for business and industry to do even more harm to critical habitat.

The review of the Endangered Species Act is just a euphemism to relax our regulations to make developers and farmers (basically wealthier individuals) keep pillaging our forested and ecologically significant lands. We hardly have much left especially in Southwestern Ontario.

It is time we stand up for our environment and protect these species. If we do not stop allowing industry to dictate to us; and governments worrying only about the rich we are reverting back to the early years of civilization.

Ontario is home to 243 species at risk of extinction. Already, routinely granted exemptions to the Act make it too easy for development and industry to tear up and cut through critical habitat.

It is clear from the report entitled: "Without a Trace: Reflecting on the 10th Anniversary of Ontario’s Endangered Species Act, 2007" published in 2018, that there are no "efficiencies for business" to be found in the Endangered Species Act.

Open for Business is a slogan that has some merit from an economic standpoint but it will be a curse for our grandchildren certainly and probably also our children if businesses and industry are allowed to circumvent important land, watershed and wildlife protections.

Half of Canada’s wildlife are in decline – by a whopping 83 per cent. Provincial governments must be part of the solution. It's a no brainer that at-risk habitat should be protected AT ALL COSTS. Once these creatures are gone, we cannot get them back.

Be good, please. Be good to nature, the earth, our kids and yourself. Don't give in to making money at the expense of animals and especially endangered species. I don't know who will be reading this, but whoever you are, think about what your heart supports and take a stand.

I would like the Ontario Government to show leadership and am urging you to put in place stronger protections for endangered species at risk and make it more difficult for development and industry to destroy critical habitat.
