This proposal is bogus, I don't agree with any of the outlined changes. It gives too much power to the environmental minister without enough scientific oversight. This prop will not make the process more efficient but rather allow corporations more freedom to hurt local ecologies
Please do not make it easier for cooperations to destroy our earth. This proposal leaves the animals living in Ontario vulnerable to extinction. We must do more to protect the species because they are all a vital part of our ecosystem.

I think your phone proposal is disgusing and short sited. Profits should NEVER come before people and protections. You are a servant to the people who elected you, not to the business who lines your back pocket. You are a sirry excuse fir a government who lacks both integrity and knowledge.

DO NOT CHANGE THIS ACT IN ANY WAY!!
On Thurs April 18, "Ontario intends to allow municipalities and developers to pay a fee in lieu of taking certain actions to protect species at risk."
This is nothing more than a pay-for-kill fee!

Rolling back protection is foolish. The natural flora and fauna of Ontario need to be protected. This proposal is short sighted and benefits only the corporations.
Wrong changes, wrong time.
Way to be, taking the "Conserve" out of Conservatives. Every day brings more dissatisfaction with the leadership and strategies of the big-headed grinning buffoon that is our Premier.

What this government is really trying to do is make it easier for developers to destroy habitats. Seriously, you are proposing a "payback" option- so if a company is willing to pay a fee, anything can be bulldozed and paved over.

The Act should be enhanced not butchered. You are considering destroying things that can never be replaced. Think of your children, your grandchildren and their children! Do the right thing and protect not destroy the flora and fauna in the province of Ontario!
This Act should be reviewed and strengthened to limit development anywhere where wild animals live, and never where endangered species live. The Act should be congruent with federal acts and protections so that legislation does not compete.

This is ridiculous!!!!!
Wildlife need to be protected in general. Especially those that are endangered!!!!
I Voted PC in the last election.... if this stands, I will NOT vote PC again!
I see that Ford's OPEN FOR BUSINESS is going to be on the backs and wings of the animals of this province.
So sad to realize future generations will see Ontario Wildlife only in books.

I do not believe these changes are in the best interest of the species at risk. the system needs to be enhanced to ensure these species and others are protected against business interests that would put further species at risk. an example of this is thundering waters in niagara falls.

Please do not replace the protections in place. Developers should not be allowed to pay a fee in order to be allowed to destroy or damage the habitats of endangered native wildlife
The proposed changes pose very dangerous outcomes to the health of our ecosystems. Many of the endangered species who will be detrimentally impacted by such amendments are integral parts of environmental ecosystems.

This Insanity must be stopped. It's all about money and nothing about anything else. We will fight. The
his is not what the constituents of Ontario want and despite that, this is being shut down our throats. Enough!
I wholeheartedly disagree with these proposed changes to the Act. All species are important and reducing protections, especially when there is an increased threat to ecosystem dynamics from climate change, is not in the best interest of Ontario.

These changes are just another nail in the coffin for Ontario's natural habitats, animals, and all wildlife. Extending the period before species are added to the list is totally unnecessary and allows another 9 months for developers to destroy ecosystems which contain at-risk species.
