I am disheartened, disappointed and in disbelief that the provincial government is considering rolling back protections for vulnerable ecosystems and species under the guise of strengthening our economy.

The current plan for the Species Conservation Act 2025 do not meet the needs of environmental protection and conservation. How habitat is defined in the proposed plan is not up to date with current knowledge of ecosystem function.

The proposal demonstrates the lack of understanding about the environment. Not only does biodiversity (species and habitat diversity) strengthen our environments but in fact, the ecosystems provide services to us that save us money.

This proposal is really bad public policy and should not not be implemented.
Biodiversity loss poses a huge risk to economic activity in Ontario.
The state of the environment is declining in Ontario and this proposal will cause further harm.

We cannot exist without wild places and creatures. And they cannot continue to exist without our support. We must protect them at any cost for all future generations.

Please, please keep the Endangered Species Act intact. In this negatively, fast changing world, all species need all the protection we can give them.

I am a practicing ecologist who works solely for development clients. There are many things that could be done to create efficiencies and speed up approvals for development projects, while still maintaining protections for Species at Risk.

Absolutely diabolical to propose the SCA and scrap the ESA. The process of completing impact assessments PRIOR to development is crucial. Should development take place prior to an ecological assessment will be devastating to our species at risk.

As an environmental professional, I am writing to express serious concerns regarding the proposed amendments to the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the introduction of the Species Conservation Act (SCA), 2025.

I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed repeal of the Endangered Species Act, 2007 and its replacement with the Species Conservation Act, 2025 (ERO #025-0380).

Disgusting and appalling move by the Ford government. As a tax paying citizen of Ontario I am extremely against the proposed changes to the endangered species act. The Ford government is not doing right by the people and need to be held accountable.
The proposed changes are unreasonable and empower the provincial government to bypass critical research and protections for species at risk and their habitat for the sake of greed.

This is NOT the direction we should be moving in. Less environmental and species/habitat protections will help nobody in the long run. How about increased staffing and funding to expedite processes rather than circumventing them all together?

I strongly oppose this new legislation, which not only dismantles essential protections for endangered wildlife and ecosystems, but also disregards the rights and sovereignty of Indigenous communities. This bill represents a profound failure of responsible governance.
