This is blatant disresepct for Canadians and their lives; trying to save money by hurting the Canadian environment is NOT an "efficiency" and should not happen! This is the beginning of the end for our environment and what sets us apart from so many countries.

Gutting the endangered species act will do nothing but destroy what makes Canada great. I don't want to live in this province or country if its leaders continue to destroy Canada's natural beauty.

An essential component of maintaining Ontario's diversity and history. I strongly urge you consider carefully how this can be improved and maintained in decision making for maintaining this important tool for future generations.
The only adjustment that should be made to Ontario's Endangered Species Act is strengthening the enforcement of it. Development permits are a necessary feature of species and habit protection! The review process is the only thing standing in the way of irreparable species loss.

I am very concerned by the view expressed in this discussion paper -- that current laws and regulations protecting endangered species should be softened to promote business in Ontario.

It is appalling that the government would consider changing the policies in place to protect endangered species in order to put economic development first. We need to stop worrying about money and put more effort into protecting species at risk.

Please consult with ecologists, who are the real experts in how to manage endangered species. They know the details of their habitats, predator-prey relationships, reproductive cycles, the effects of climate change, and have all the modeling software to make predictions.

This proposal needs more protection for animals as people are ignorant and greedy when it comes to business, money and land. For some of theses animal that ignorance may mean no longer existing in Ontario. The rules need to apply to everyone!

While reviews of policies can be useful, it's dangerous here to change a policy meant for the express purpose of protecting Ontario's endangered species for the benefits of business.
It's wrong.

I think that Ontario’s Endangered Species Risk Act needs to be more strict, not more lax. It sounds like this proposal gives businesses easier access to sensitive and protected areas. I disagree and believe that businesses should have to put in more effort.

I think that protecting at-risk species is an incredibly important part of Ontario's environmental legislation. In your discussion paper, it is clear that your bias lies toward the economy - the upsetting part is that this is at the expense of the environment.
