This will do absolutely NOTHING for protected wildlife and everything for Premier Doug Ford. Greed is his only motivation. He doesn't care for wildlife and the guidelines established to protect the many species.
This is a HUGE mistake! please don't let this happen!

This is a really bad idea. The environment and at risk species is very important to our continued survival on this planet. What could be more important than that?
I disagree with the elimination of the Endangered Species Act.
Wildlife habitat protection is important to me and my community.
This change will negatively affect the value of my community.

I don’t agree with this proposal at all. Put some thought into this, as this is not going to help protect our wildlife. I feel it will do the opposite of protecting our wildlife. Please don’t do this.
As a biologist the proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act are deeply concerning, and frankly short sighted, demonstrating a complete lack of understanding or care for the environment by the Ford government.

It is abundantly clear that these proposed changes to Ontario’s Endangered Species Act will result in devastating losses of biodiversity and put all of Ontario’s species at further risk of extinction.

Please reconsider this decision. Mature and wildlife needs support from our species not more destruction of the small amount of space we allow them to have. Soon we will have built ourselves out of our own lives by destroying everything else’s world.
I am strongly opposed to these changes. They are designed to put development and profit above all else, which is dangerous and short-sighted.

With all due respect - I am deeply concerned by this proposal. Just when evidence is emerging that the loss of biodiversity could have equal or even more severe effects than environmental changes related to climate change - Ontario is proposing to relax its species protection?

I have reviewed the proposed changes and find them alarming. They do not respect scientific definitions. A "habitat" cannot refer to a single dwelling of an animal or to the immediate surroundings of a single plant.

Please reconsider this proposal. The negative consequences cannot be undone if this is enacted. Even if we forget the endangered species that are at risk, we humans are dependent on fully functioning ecosystems. We can make economic progress without these destructive measures.

This proposal is a disgrace and absolutely cannot be approved. It's sickening that our government would even propose this. The endangered species act works and makes everyone remember that long term conservation is vital to our environment, our economy, and our humanity.

This proposal is totally unacceptable and taking us backwards in protecting endangered species. Protecting our planet including endangered species has to take priority.
I think this is a ridiculous idea talk about not caring for our environment that’s one step closer to living in a concrete jungle just like all the other decisions to over develop farm land as well
It is very important that our energies go toward not reducing habitat. We should be expanding it. Please do not take away any more wild lands or animals, birds and wildlife support systems.
I don’t think any changes are needed to this law. However changes in the administration are needed. We need to keep qualified people making the decisions regarding any permits. Our wildlife is of the upmost importance and its care is not to be taken lightly.
