I am deeply troubled by the complete disregard for the scientific community which has long been diminished to grant the Minister in making decisions on the basis of political expediency rather than actual data.

The Ontario government is proposing alarming changes to the Endangered Species Act. I've examined the proposal in detail, and strongly believe that these changes soften the existing act so significantly that it would become next-to-useless.

In short, I find this proposed legislation to be abhorrent. We need to do more to support endangered species and sensitive habitats, not less. To see the continued degradation of environmental protections saddens me deeply, as our natural heritage is a part of Ontario's and Canada's character.

These changes are a huge step backwards. Sacrificing the health of our planet in exchange for more development dollars. Our government should be ashamed. I'm embarrassed, to be an Ontarian and a Canadian.

These proposed changes are absolutely inexcusable of this government!!! You obviously do not have the ability to truly comprehend what is actually happening in the province or around the world! Shame on you!

DO NOT LET THIS PASS. Our environment is all we got and these endangered species were here first. Just because they don’t have a voice doesn’t mean us humans can just take over their territory. This will disrupt so many ecosystems on so many levels.

I fundamentally object to this government's plan to gut the Ontario Endangered Species Act.
This equates to selling our wildlife to the highest bidders.

I fundamentally object to the conservative parties plans to gut Ontario’s Endangered Species Act, which equates to selling our wildlife to the highest bidders. This revamp of it gives far too much power to the government to override ecological concerns.

The proposed changes to the endangered species act open doors for the destruction of naturalized areas without penalty. Money is no object and it goes without saying that developers and industry have a lot of it.

"In a move that will prove devastating to species at risk, the Ontario government has just unveiled plans to severely undermine the Endangered Species Act."
If you guys go through with this, I will rip up my Ontario PC Membership Card. I promise.

This is ridiculous. What is the point of submitting species for protection if you are just going to continue with actions that could be killing them for a YEAR??? Actions need to be halted until it can be shown species are not harmed by the proposed actions.

This proposed change is devastating to people and other species at risk. Do not gut environmental laws to help capitalists. That is a losing game for all of us.
Our natural heritage is NOT OPEN FOR BUSINESS. This is a disgusting and unacceptable move by the Ford Government. Ontario's diverse wildlife are a treasure to be preserved and protected.

The proposed changes to the Endangered Species act are irresponsible, unethical, and will our province in an even worse environmental position than it’s in now.

Please keep protections in place for Ontario’s creatures, as a minimum, the way they are. In this day and age when so much is known, we should not be removing protection for anything, for any reason.
