Basically the existing Act is great and it doesn't need any major changes to it. Area of Focus 1 - Landscape approaches: No changes are needed to use the current legislation more effectively. It has been used for the Woodland Caribou and could be used for other species. Read more

To undermine the Endangered Species Act in the interest of expediting development would be a critical mistake. In 2019, we are more than aware of the myriad benefits of biodiversity and the harm humans have had to the survival of many species. We know better. Do not reverse our progress.

By removing or reducing these measures taken to protect endangered species to instead find “efficiencies for businesses” is absurd. Our main priority should be the protection of our environment and ALL living species within it. Read more

strong protection for Species at Risk in Ontario, which means a prioritization on conserving species at risk and the habitats they depend on through improved implementation of the Endangered Species Act in its current form.

My recommendation for the Endangered Species Act of Ontario is to keep what we already have, but remove the exemptions for certain industries. The flora and fauna of Ontario are worth protecting. If we allow species to disappear there is no easy way to get them back. Read more

Aggregate is replaceable - species are not. Once they are extinct, that's it. We have already lost so many that the most dangerous species on the earth is now man. Protecting our inheritance is not red tape. This government must stop listening only to the businesses which are funding them.

To comment on the ESA review discussion paper, I am writing to strongly support the stated intent to provide more stringent protections for species at risk, but the proposals being considered will not accomplish that goal. Read more
