Abstract
In response to the discussion paper on the 10th year review of Ontario's ESA, we provide comments on the implementation of the Act moving forward. Rather than making changes to the existing legislation, we recommend the provincial government focus instead on improving implementation of the Act by utilizing existing tools in the ESA to provide more meaningful protections for species at risk.
We contend that more strategic implementation of the ESA can be accomplished without significant additional expenditures, and that failure to invest appropriately now in species at risk conservation will lead to escalating costs in the future as biodiversity deteriorates.
