URGENT MESSAGE PLEASE READ

THIS MESSAGE WAS SENT TO ME BY GREEN PEACE, I COPIED AND PASTED SO EVERYONE CAN READ!!!!

Despite three years of promises to protect Ontarios threatened woodland caribou, the McGuinty government is proposing to exempt logging, mining and other industries from having to take action to protect caribou under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
This means that woodland caribou “ which is listed as threatened in Ontario “ will have no legal protection under the very law that was designed to save it.
This will push caribou one step closer to extinction.
Through the 2010 Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement, forestry companies and environmental groups have committed to developing plans to protect caribou. This exemption shows that the McGuinty government is not committed to being part of the solution.
We dont think that the forest industry should shut down, but we do believe that it should be required to do something substantial to protect caribou. This exemption says they dont have to.
In 2007, Premier McGuinty made an election promise to protect woodland caribou. Since then, his government has taken no concrete, on the ground action.
Please ask Premier McGuinty to scrap his governments proposed exemption and to protect caribou and the Boreal Forest before its too late.
The McGuinty government is on a countdown to the next election. Let’s not allow this exemption to be a countdown to caribou extinction!
